I'm currently in the process of learning Javascript. I've use Codecademy to get started in the basics. In terms of books, I've used The Good Parts, Javascript: The Definitive Guide, and Secrets of a Javascript Ninja.

The thing I've struggled with is finding examples of 'good practice' programming which are suitable for beginner to intermediate programmers, which are more than just code snippets.

I'm thinking of small projects, with a code base that it's practical to read in full and understand. I've struggled with using object orientation 'correctly' in javascript. It would also be good to see a full example of how namespacing should be done properly in, say, a small website/webapp.

Any suggestion would be very much appreciated.




Try reading through the Backbone.js source, it's quite approachable.
