JavaScript is one of the most popular languages used by programmers all around the world. In this course, you'll be introduced to the Object-Oriented Paradigm of JavaScript. The course will discuss OOP in both, ES5 and ES6 versions of JavaScript. It begins with a basic introduction to what Object-Oriented programming is, followed by its comparison to other languages. It then introduces the new  OOP features available in ES6 version and compares it to the ES5 version. The course then discusses objects in JavaScript followed by the use of function as objects in OOP. It goes over the interesting concepts of prototype objects, data encapsulation, and classes. It then delves into the more complex concepts of inheritance in both the versions, including prototypal inheritance, prototype chaining, method overriding and mixins. The course is filled with interesting illustrations to help in your understanding of the concepts as well as numerous quizzes and exercises to help you practice.

Learn Object-Oriented Programming in JavaScript

## Introduction
If you are familiar with other languages such as **C#** and **Java**, then you must have heard the term *Object-Oriented Programming* (OOP). You might have an idea of it having something to do with classes or objects. However, before we delve into those details let's take a look at the definition of object-oriented programming.

## Definition
**Object-oriented programming** is a style of programming, it is not a tool, which is why even though it is old it is still very popular and is widely used. This style involves breaking a program into segments of *objects* that can communicate with each other. Each object is defined by its own set of *properties*. These properties can then be accessed and modified through various operations.
### Example

#### Explanation
The above illustration gives an example from real-life of an employee record where each employee can be considered as an "object" and since every employee has a *name*, *age*, and *designation*, these can be considered the *properties* of that employee.

Now that you know the basic concept of object-oriented programming let's see how it is used in JavaScript and how it differs from OOP in other languages.
