Did You Know that jQuery Leaks Memory like a Fountain? — and there’s a solution for it. 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know - O'Reilly Media. Although I've written many, many lines of code, I've never worked in a 'world class programming shop'. After I had been programming for awhile, I sought a job in what I hoped would be such a shop: a place where things were done "right". Instead, I have always found myself in positions where creative people hack code and implement systems. And, some of those systems were high quality enterprise applications. I suspect, though, that my vision of a 'world class programming shop' may not really exist. There are places where protocols are developed and their use enforced and best practices identified and implemented. At the same time, no programming shop is exempt from the pressures that cause sloppy coding and shortcuts to replace (temporarily of course!)

97 Things Every Programmer Should Know: Collective Wisdom From the Experts is a collection of short essays addressing many, many facets of the application development process.
