Mockito Spy
Spy Objects [wp_ad_camp_5] A Mockito spy allows us to create a spy object from a real object with similar behavior where each method can be stubbed out when needed. It is ideal for testing legacy code as you cannot invoke

JavaScript Object Creation and Object Methods and Properties
[wp_ad_camp_1] If you’ve read this, it merely declares JavaScript can do OOP. It did not talked about other (more advanced) OOP stuff like access modifiers, encapsulation – behaviors and properties, and inheritance. On this article, we’ll talk more on object
Check if a value is in an Array in JavaScript

JavaScript scope in functions vs Java scope in methods
For years, JavaScript to me was a mere validation tool or script for web applications. I hated it. I avoided using it. This time JavaScript gets the same respect from me as Java does. If you plan to “own” (or master if you can) JavaScript and you are coming from blocked-scoped languages like Java, C#, C and C++, this is one of key things you need to keep in mind…
Working with Reference Types in JavaScript
JavaScript has both primitive and reference types. It has three primitive types: string, numeric, and boolean. Internally, these are small and fixed-sized collection of bytes that are easily and predictably manipulated at the low (primitive) levels of the JavaScript interpreter. Example of strings are ‘This is a string’ and “This is another string”. Numeric values – 1, and 3.1416. Boolean values – true or false. On the other hand, reference types are different. They include objects (including JS built-in objects), Arrays, and functions. Essentially, they can have any number of properties or elements with various types (both primitives and references), so they cannot be manipulated as easily as fixed-size primitive v
Constructors in PHP 5+
This article demonstrates how constructors work in PHP. It will also touch on destructors just briefly. If you’re a Java programmer who has somehow become bored with anything Java and wanted to explore PHP, the first thing you need to realize is OOP in PHP is slightly different. Take for instance, constructors.
