Patterns for Programming in JavaScript
summary
Shows concrete patterns and gotchas: enable use strict to avoid accidental globals, prefer === over ==, and use closures to encapsulate private state rather than exposing variables. Demonstrates putting shared methods on prototypes and using Object.create to set up inheritance safely, a small createClass factory to avoid repeated boilerplate, replacing nested callbacks with named functions for testability, using predicates as a lightweight strategy, and building fluent APIs by returning this. Warns that clutchy Singleton hacks are brittle and a plain module object often suffices.
