Methods section, 1st JS example

I believe possibly that it is missing the opening ( before the word function:

//corrected version
Mammal.prototype.move = (function(fast) {
return fast ? 'run' : 'walk';
});

Note from the Author or Editor:
actually theres an extra closing bracket - in other words delete the extra

it should read
Mammal.prototype.move = function(fast) {
return fast ? 'run' : 'walk';
};

Creating object instances

Were the whale and dolphin instances were created:

var whale = Object.create(SeaMammal).build ('whale','krill'); //No object instance was created for whale that I can see
var dolphin = Object.create(SeaMammal).build ('dolphin','fish'); //No object instance was created for whale that I can see

Note from the Author or Editor:
some javascript code halfway down the page is missing. These two lines
var whale = Object.create(SeaMammal).build ('whale','krill');
var dolphin = Object.create(SeaMammal).build ('dolphin','fish');

should be added in the same block and just after
var rat = ...

not on the page - its a code repository update

Google made a change to an execution api url since I wrote the book, but
there's no need for any update to the book, as it's not shown anywhere.

I updated the code repository at https://github.com/brucemcpherson/GoingGas

This method in the ExecutionAPI example changed from (:exec to :run)

Public Function getUrl() As String
getUrl = root_ & project_ & ":run"
End Function
