HTML5 Enterprise Application Architecture Now that we have a good understanding of HTML5 for applications, we can jump right into the HTML5 application architecture. The most important aspect of a good architecture is the independence and integration of all the parts of the system (i.e., integration should not be a factor of dependence). In other words, we strongly recommend lightweight, modular frameworks or libraries that do one or two thing well over the do-it-all mega-frameworks (e.g., Sencha) that try to do too many things, often in their own way (and not the HTML/CSS/JS way). So, in short, go lightweight and modular, and most of all, learn the HTML5 way and NOT the framework way. Here is our recommended HTML5 application architecture (with some library recommendations).

Track your dependencies with PHP_Depend - Manuel Pichler To provide a flexible and extendable software, it is a good OO practice to reduce the dependencies between implementing classes. This could be achieved by developing against abstractions which means both, abstract classes and interfaces. By using abstractions instead of real implementation in the application you provide some sort of contract, that could be used by others to hook into the application with their own classes that fulfill the contract. Except the extensibility of an application a good abstraction reduces the risk of breaks in multiple subsystems when something was changed in a single package.
