  Thanks for the link. Google's Javascript style guide in conjunction with this article's best practices really helped.

    Crockford's "JavaScript: The Good Parts" is the gold standard for best practices. Pretty much anyone who works in JS will recommend it. Here's a video which is a condensed version of what's in the book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTIJBZook http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTIJBZook

      I used to write (and probably still do, but to lesser extent) horrible Javascript. Nearly all older guides (anything older than a year) never focused on Javascript guidelines - and then I ended up watching Crockford videos. My understanding of Javascript has increased; I now think of Javascript as a proper language to code in and not just a collection of statements to make HTML elements move/change-color. Crockford videos are a must see! The only issue might be that there is a lot of repetition of concepts between videos and sometimes it gets boring, but it is always worth it.
