About this Presentation

Building on the in-depth examination of the Prototype library from Prototype: Ajax and JavaScript ++, this session delves into the corners of Prototype that modify the DOM API and JavaScript's built-in types. We'll examine the way JavaScript extends the DOM Element class, and provides wrappers around forms for easy manipulation.

We'll see extensions to common classes like String and Number, and learn how to unit test our Prototype-enabled code. Attendees will never want to write JavaScript without Prototype again.”
