After months of no coding at all I found some time to write a bit of code again. As soon as I’m done with it I will probably blog about it but for now I want to share a cool best practice ressource for javascript in general and jQuery in particular.
I stumbled upon Essential JavaScript & jQuery Design Patterns For Beginners by Addy Osmani.
Again I might add as I already recommended his free book two years ago when he published it along with other jQuery related ressources.
It’s a well of knowledge and easy to read. For those of you who want to dive deep into the sea of javascript I would recommend to read this along with Crockford and Flanagan.
But this time I found something else.
About a year ago Andy also published an article on smashing magazine about jQuery plugin patterns. In this article Andy also links to his github repository where you can find all the patterns from the article.
If you’re seriously into jQuery plugin development you should read this carefully. It will give you a lot of new ideas on how to organise your code and you will find good solutions to your requirements.
