Javascript can be quite daunting. I have seen many disasters with Javascript applications. This is why I now teach Javascript differently, I have written down a minimalist JS approach. This way of writing Javascript allows you to implement almost any OOP design yet it only uses 10% of the Javascript language thus shortening the learning curve. I wrote this initially for co-workers but because it's such a success I've decided to put it online.

This approach also makes it possible to treat JS more like a traditional OOP language and it does not require external libraries, sugar code or new browser technology. It works in the most ancient browsers.
