A class is a <strong>description</strong> of an object, something that tells JavaScript <strong>how</strong> to create an object (what properties, methods, etc. is has). An object is an instance of a class, and an object instance is exactly what you've created in your example. That's a fine way to do it, but it isn't re-usable. In other words, if you wanted to create an object for <code>jane</code>, you'd have to code the entire object again. Hey Roman, yes you can create objects that way.

Here it is the my way of creating new objects var joe = { firstName : 'Joe', lastName : 'Blow', getFullName : function() { return (this.firstName + ' ' + this.lastName); } } Hi, thanks for great screencasts.
