The Three Pillars
Basic information on the basic rules of Object Oriented Programming
- Encapsulation - private communication with object in order to avoid distractions.
- Inheritance – child may inherit everything from a parent.
- Polymorphism – A child may execute the functions of a parent class but its behavior can change if child overrides functions of the parent class.

JAVASCRIPT - Event Capturing and Bubbling
Events are the main components of Javascript. They help the user interact and provide status on changes made by those intractions. They are susually used to receiver user input. You must subscribe to an event to execute the actions assigned to that event.
1. Event is created and it can be exposed, published or madeto handle any related events.
2. When objects are used they are assigned handlers. They allow subscription to the objects events.
3. Event subscribers are notified by using handler functions within the object.
4. When an event triggers the object is passed to a event handling function that provides information about the event.
Child elements that trigger events within the parent are passed down the DOM hierarchy.
CAPTURING - passing down elements in the DOM.
BUBBLING - After event reaches the desired trigger it goes back up the DOM.
Event propagation can be canceled.

STARTED STUDY FOR MSCD
Today I have decided to study for the Microsoft Certification Program. I will start with the certification 480 which covers the basics of HTML5, CSS and Javascript. I'm hopping to finish within 3 weeks and cover all topics. Hopefully the certification exam won't be that difficult.
