A.prototype.a (cb) {
// I do something here
cb(null, someData);
};
A.prototype.b () {
self = this;
// it could be `this.a` as well.
self.a(function (err, response) {
self.c(response); // will work
this.c(response); // wont work
});
};
A.prototype.c (data) {
console.log(data);
};
It's all about the scope. `this` is local to each function.

kind of things (and a lot more)
