- Using prototypes for dynamic flexibility
- Extending your program with mixins
In the previous chapter you traveled the road from object literals to prototypes and then classes. Along the way you started to build an understanding of how objects work in CoffeeScript. Now it’s time to reverse course by first defining some classes of your own and then slowly taking them apart to see the objects and prototypes that underpin them.
