What on Earth is this? Objects and prototypes in JavaScript with Alex Ogilvie

Over the next few weeks, Code Chrysalis' fourth cohort is giving presentations on their topics of expertise--we can't wait to see you there!

--Topic--

Do you understand how 'this' is defined inside JavaScript objects? 'This' is a special keyword defined automatically inside every JS object, but even veterans often struggle to understand exactly what 'this' is referring to.

--Biography--

Alex moved to Japan 4 years ago to become an English teacher. He is new to programming, having discovered JavaScript 10 months ago at a Code Chrysalis meetup. He was bitten by the coding bug, and began studying computer science fundamentals and JS basics. He is now a part of the 4th class of Code Chrysalis's immersive. He has an eye for detail, and a desire to understand things at more than just a surface level.
