Ruby on Rails platform-as-a-service provider Engine Yard is running a series of articles on reusing JavaScript code written by Christopher Haupt of Webvanta. The first focuses on reusing JavaScript as jQuery plugins.
“If jQuery is a fit for your project, you can utilize its conventions to reap the benefits of a consistent code style, logical approach to working with data, and to easily leverage other basic building blocks of code,” writes Haupt.
Haupt covers:
- Best practices for developing JQuery plugins
- Function patterns
- Chaining
- Namespacing
He also touches briefly on jQuery UI Widget.
