I don't do a lot of programming, and the languages I use are all interpreted (Perl, VBS, Kix, PHP) and not compiled. So people can easily see the mess I make of code. But I do like to know, at least, how to do things correctly.

With regard to Javascript there are many libraries available and it's good to know how to code in such a way as to not break any of the conventions that good Javascript programmers use.

So I'm bookmarking this Javascript Best Practices URL for future reference.
