Re: [WSG] JavaScript clarification please

Hey Breton, I think the examples you gave are implemented in the PHP object and are relatively simple to implement. Cheers, Anthony.

Given that _javascript_ allows all those things, much of those traditional OOP design patterns don't make much sense, because they're getting around a limitation that doesn't exist. I haven't extensively used the OOP facilities in PHP, I've always found the syntax to be ugly as hell, I could never bring myself to type that crap willingly. So unfortunately, I cannot speak knowledgably about how difficult or hard it is in PHP.

I use Java, C++, PHP and _javascript_ and I can tell you that out of the lot of them, _javascript_ is the most difficult to incorperate conventional Object Orientated design. For example you cannot simply define classes, or use visability keywords (you can do it, but not the conventional way) and some of the OOP design patterns are difficult to put into _javascript_. I have the Apress book on _javascript_ Design Patterns, which helped alot when learning OOP in JS. Sorry my wording was wrong. I think the above is what I meant. ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
