Chapter 3. Core Programming Concepts
This chapter explains basic object-oriented features (class, object, interface, inheritance, and so on) and how these features are achieved with JavaScript in the qooxdoo framework. This chapter also explains the basic syntax of the qooxdoo programming.
JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language that is dynamically typed and that supports object-oriented language. qooxdoo allows you to write the code in object-oriented fashion, by providing the basic syntax for each object-oriented concept. In addition to the object-oriented support, qooxdoo gives more flexibility to ease coding in JavaScript. qooxdoo framework provides many reusable components too. Let's learn the core programming concepts of qooxdoo framework, in this chapter.
In this chapter, we shall cover the following topics:
- Code comments and API documentation
- Object-oriented programming
- Interface, class, and mixin
- qooxdoo properties
- Events
- Team Twitter classes
We have already said "hello" to the qooxdoo world. Now, it is time to dive into the qooxdoo world and pick up the object-oriented programming concepts.
