Caring about your JavaScript Code Quality

Thursday, 1:30 PM

JavaScript is one of the most widely used languages. Substantial code in enterprise applications now reside in JavaScript. Unfortunately, JavaScript code is also synonymous to poor quality code. That’s a big risk. Thankfully, it’s not really that hard to create better quality JavaScript, if we pay just a little bit of attention. In this presentation we will take examples of code that represents both good quality and bad quality, discuss the benefits or the issues, as the case may be.

We will also look at coding practices and tools that can help us create better quality JavaScript.
