Learning JavaScript Design Patterns

I would like to thank Rebecca Murphey for inspiring me to open-source this mini-book and release it for free download and distribution - making knowledge both open and easily available is something we should all strive for where possible. I would also like to extend my thanks to the very talented Alex Sexton who was kind enough to be the technical reviewer for this publication. I hope that it helps you learn more about design patterns and the usefulness of their application to JavaScript. Volume 2 of Essential JavaScript Design Patterns is currently being written and will be more detailed than this first edition. The ETA for it's online release is late Q4, 2011. For more detailed coverage of specific patterns, you may be interested in my posts on the Pub/Sub (Observer) or Decorator patterns. At the beginning of this book I will be focusing on a discussion about the importance and history of design patterns in any programming language. Patterns are not an exact solution.

Using Google's Closure to Compile and Verify your JavaScript 7, Mar 2013 A large application is nearly guaranteed to come with an equally large amount of JavaScript attached to it. During development it makes sense to divide the JavaScript of the application into multiple sensibly named files both to make finding specific functionality in the code base easier, and to keep the file length to a reasonable size for readability/comprehension purposes. More importantly though, this allows you to build modular, reusable components by separating functionality and sharing common methods within the application. However, when it comes time to move your site to the production environment, this development processes' inefficiencies become noticeable in slow loading pages. The most obvious pitfall is the fact that having multiple different files means that new HTTP requests have to be issued for each file, bringing with it an additional round trip time.

A Javascript When Function Mon Feb 20 2012 function when(conditionFunc, execFunc, interval){ if (conditionFunc()){ execFunc(); }else{ setTimeout(function(){ when(conditionFunc, execFunc, interval);}, interval); } } You have some code which should only execute when a condition is true.
