I tend to build all my DOM in object oriented javascript, and always give the root element of a UI component the same class name as the name of the JavaScript class. See eg https://github.com/marcuswestin/Focus/blob/master/js/ui/pane... .

Did not know that! :P I guess browser-require will still be useful, since you can import the same files in node and in the browser

no, it does not :)

That's one of the big differences - I'd say the other big difference is that it comes with a compiler that bundles all your required modules into a single javascript file for production

The synchronous XHR requests are only used in your development environment. For production, use `node browser-require/compile.js`, which will compile all your required javascript modules into a single file. It really doesn't make sense to a

require.js does asynchronous file loading and is supposed to be deployed as-is in production. Browser-require makes it easy to develop your code using synchronous require statements and straight-forward dependency management. For production

Browser-require.js brings "require" to the browser (just like node)(github.com)

I viewed http://github.com/languages a couple of hours ago, and ruby was still at #1. Very cool that js is now on top of the hill! (for the disbelievers: it's really not that hard to fathom, especially considering the recent growth of leg

There are two hard problems in computer science. Naming, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors.

Yup - no pragmatic advice offered really, just a theoretical idea. Perhaps the most interesting point is simply that it's hard to put a value to the work of a teacher.

Yup - that wouldn't be very nice :)

Thanks for your thoughts! > It's hard to determine benchmarks for performance when the kids are operating at such different stages of development. Agreed - the point I'm striving for is an incentive conceived from shared gains (you bene

Meebo made a presentation at Velocity this year about truly asynchronous loading, among other performance secrets of the meebo bar. (FF can still block using the suggested technique) Well worth the watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7S

Good feedback! I had the time to add a simple // PHP code and // Fun code comments at the top of the code examples. Not great but hopefully helpful :) This was meant to be a high-level intro. I'll be diving into explaining

Nice - the relevant fin API used under the hood by Fun is dead simple: fin.set(id, property, value) fin.observe(id, property, function callback(mutation){}) Would be rockin to see if we could hook up fin to js-model!

That's awesome! Sorry, didn't mean to sound cheesy. Yeah, I find most shops commercially licensing open source software get pinched into an almost apologetic position. Seems completely counter productive and unfair to me.
