Maintainable JavaScript talk
Way back in March, Yahoo! held its internal Front End Engineering Summit at the Sunnyvale campus (my base of operations). At the Summit, I gave a presentation on what I like to call Maintainable JavaScript. The good news is that it was videotaped and is now available over at the YUI Blog.
The idea behind Maintainable JavaScript is that there are many ways to write code, but in an enterprise environment your priority should be on maintainability (versus strictly performance or adherence to particular programming paradigms). The talk describes things you can do to make your code more maintainable as well as things you should avoid; I hope you enjoy this talk.

Great presentation Nicholas!
I wish that more people would follow these rules. Too many JavaScript developers today extend native objects, create unreadable tightly coupled code just to brag how short they code is etc.
