Video: Prototypal inheritance in JavaScript

I recently held a talk on JavaScript inheritance for a MunichJS meetup at Google Munich. Courtesy of TNG, a video has been recorded which I have uploaded to Vimeo.

• Title: Prototypal inheritance in JavaScript
• Abstract: This talk explains JavaScript’s prototypal inheritance via a simple example. Topics covered: objects, prototypes, constructors, extending constructors.
• Running time: 40m40s
• Slides: proto_intro.pdf

The video isn’t perfect, but it should be useful as an introduction. Audio quality is very good and you can download the slides and look at them separately from the video. Oh, and the location of the talk explains the reaction of the audience when I mention Firefox.
