+# Chapter 8. Using Inheritance
+
+JavaScript implements **prototypal** inheritance
+
+## Understanding Prototypal Inheritance
+
+- Prototypal inheritance is implemented using delegation
+- Delegation is better than inheritance
+- Instead of relying on base class or superclass, prototypal inheritance relies on an object next in the chain to serve as its base
+- Prototypal inheritance is dynamic which allows altering object that serves as the base at runtime
+- Base object is called the object's prototype
+
+## Prototype Chain
+
+- Object chaining
+- `Reflect.getPrototypeOf`
