A little something from my forthcoming book "Object-Oriented JavaScript" I thought would be nice to share.
| name | literal | constructor | example |
|---|---|---|---|
| object | {} |
new Object() |
{prop: 1} |
| array | [] |
new Array() |
[1,2,3,'test'] |
| regular expression |
/pattern/modifiers |
new RegExp('pattern', 'modifiers') |
/java.*/img |
From YUI blog today, there is a free chapter of Douglas Crockford's JavaScript book.
It's a great read. I had the pleasure of reading drafts of the book and giving some inputs (Whoa, giving Doug Crockford input with his JavaScript book! Yeah, I know.) and I can only highly recommend the book. But don't take my word for it, go download the free chapter and decide for yourself.
