For years older versions of JavaScript did not have the Object Oriented Programming components of classes and instantiation and that was fine for a period of time. But more modern versions of JavaScript have implemented classes.

In this section we're going to walk through how to build object-oriented programming techniques into a javascript program. For years and years javascript did not have a option for building object oriented or OOP. types of procedures into the application. So people have built all kinds of workarounds.

So far in this section we've learned about how to design a class and then how to instantiate that class how to pass attributes and then how to call those attributes and that is all very helpful. That's some very important foundational knowledge when it comes to learning about object-oriented programming in Javascript.

Now that you're familiar with instance methods in classes in javascript, we're going to extend that knowledge and we're going to talk about static methods.
