The book "Pro Javascript Design Patterns" - is it a bad idea?
<p>I have been using JavaScript on and off for a while, and now I am faced with the necessity to master it in more depth. One of the books I got for reading up on is "<a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/159059908X" rel="nofollow">Pro Javascript Design Patterns</a>", which is mainly centered around bringing object oriented patterns into the functional language of JavaScript. </p>

<p>Is it at all a good idea to try and emulate "object-orientedness" in Javascript, or is it better to try and appreciate the functional paradigm? </p>

<p>As I come from Java, I find the former option more tempting, but still ;)</p>
