// ** Invoking Functions **
// Possible implementation of bind using apply
function bind(func, context){
   return function(){
      func.apply(context, Array.prototype.slice.apply(arguments));
   }
}

// ** What's This** 
Person.getName(); // ‘this’ points to Person
setTimeout(Person.getName, 1000); // ‘this’ points to the global object


//  **Namespacing**
//  The global footprint is a single object containing
//  all other references needed.

var MyApp = {};

MyApp.id = 42;
MyApp.utils = {
  validate: function(){
    //do work
  }
};

//or the module pattern:

// **Module pattern**
//    This relies on immediately-invoked anonymous functions and the
//    closure they create to maintain access to variables within the
//    function.

var MyApp = (function(){
  //declare a local variable
  var appId = 42;
  
  function getAppId(){
    //referring to a variable in this function’s parent scope
    return appId;
  }
  
  return {
    getAppId: getAppId
  };
}());

appId; // undefined
MyApp.appId; //undefined
MyApp.getAppId();  // returns 42.  (Brought to you by closures)
