I don't like presentations like this. What suggestions or solutions were offered? Perhaps the audio mentioned some good resources to use to learn how to properly architect a complex, Javascript/JQuery heavy application, or perhaps I just missed it in the slides, but to me it just seemed like a rant. Sure it's identifying an issue but it would be a whole lot more useful if it gave some links to books/articles/etc with details on how to layout your code in a maintainable manner.
- rmurphey3 15y agoI'd encourage you to bear in mind the original audience of the presentation: the very small number of experienced JavaScript developers who managed to obtain a ticket to the 2010 JSConf.eu in Berlin. The goal of this presentation wasn't to teach people how to write good JavaScript -- many of the people in the room that day can and do write circles around me. Rather, the goal was to urge them, the experienced JS devs who are inventing the answers to these questions, to take seriously the need for creating exactly the information you point out to be lacking, and to be intellectually rigorous and honest in discussions of various solutions. I'd suggest that you pay extra attention to the presentation starting at slide 40, and especially to what I said on slide 60: "Sharing what we know is as important as making new things." That, in a nutshell, was the message I sought to convey to the audience in October.
