Add an eventClosures, this, call and apply — an attempt at an explanation
A session at Reject.js
Closures, 'this', call and apply are hard topics to grasp for newcomers to JavaScript.
In this talk I will try to explain (with illustrations) what closures are, what 'this' is and how it relates to closures, how callbacks can be confusing and how confusion can be avoided.
Once you're comfortable and think you've understood 'this', I'll throw call and apply at you. When we emerge on the other side, there will be unicorns and pixie dust :)
