On “A new development era”

I've also successfully implemented Zakas' 1 approach after watching his presentation "Scalable Javascript Application Architecture" 2 and abandoning Backbone.Aura 3. Aura theoretically implements this, but in practice we found that it made some assumptions that were incompatible with our needs. Consequently, we rolled our own implementation. 1 link 2 link to this video 3 link

This video: link to this video (which was also posted by politician) was very useful in explaining the theory. I also made some changes to it, but offhand I can't remember what they were. I think it was to do with the separation of starting vs initialising modules (parts of a page).

I watched this old talk from the YUI Library recently. It's framework-agnostic and not heavy on code, just a lot of common sense that might not be obvious for some. Nicholas Zakas: Scalable JavaScript Application Architecture link to this video

On “Patterns For Large-Scale JavaScript Application Architecture”

The 'previous work' link redirected me to a generic search results page ( link ) , I believe this could be the talk by Nicholas Zakas link to this video but if anyone can confirm, that would be nice.
