Objects and Object Constructors: External learning resources are deprecated

[alexwittwer]

Describe your suggestion

The assignment and curriculum heavily references outdated .proto and [[Prototype]] methods for getting prototype values, and insists that Object.prototype.example is best practices.

In fact, all of the learning material references it as such, but it gets messy trying to learn when you have three different names for things, and the learning material says to use a deprecated method like .proto

Recommendation: Source new material that explains the prototype property as its currently implemented and used in best practices, and only reference the old methods of calling prototype as a side note, like what is done with JQuery and ilk.

Hey @alexwittwer thanks for making this issue.

Agree that if someone can find a resource that conveys the core concepts as well as the current resources without the baggage of the old (not best practice) ways of accessing prototype that would be ideal.

Is help still wanted on this one?

On Javascript.Info there's a relatively new article that might be added right after the original assignment: https://javascript.info/prototype-methods

It takes original examples from the assignment link but using the new methods explained in the lesson.
