Setting Up for Long-Term Success with AJAX Technologies

[microbee]

Enterprise software must be maintainable through a multiyear lifecycle, accommodating reorganizations and personnel changes. Static languages benefit heavily from tools: the build process provides a formal integrity check and dependency analysis. For dynamic languages used in AJAX development, fewer tools exist and pitfalls abound. Dependencies can be hidden; metaprogramming is common; code generation may not be obvious. Dynamic proxies to services make configuration management tricky. This session describes tools and techniques for planning, building, and managing a script-based codebase to enterprise standards. We look at specific design opporunities, preventing common problems, and tools that mitigate risk while improving manageability.
