I gave this talk: I know jQuery. What now? at jQuery UK 2013, but instead of my usual approach of post-it explosion on my desk, I wrote a post first, and created the slides from the post. So here is my (fairly unedited) quasi-ramble on how I used jQuery, and how I’m looking at where I’m using native browser technology.
Excellent blog post with full of tips, snippets and examples by Remy Sharp

So, I decided to take a punt at writing a NodeJS application. Not a big application, or anything that would get me slashdoted, but an application that would help me understand the language, and give me a taste of what it is so many people are talking a bout. I have worked with JavaScript for quite a while now, and NodeJS seems like one of those “just right” languages, that you pick up in an afternoon and come to love it after writing a few lines of code. I read a few tutorials on the subject. And then decided to dive straight into building a small application that uses GitHub’s API. There were three things I wanted to take out of it:
Installing everything was painless, but I have to admit getting NodeJS to build on a Raspberry PI wasn’t the most straight forward thing I’ve ever done. Not because it wouldn’t work, but because building it from source took forever. Just to clarify, I didn’t need to run it on a Raspberry PI, but just wanted to prove myself I could. This mini project had 5 elements to it:
Three from which you don’t even need to install (as they are npm modules). Just by adding them as dependencies on the package.js file, they get installed into your project, so deploying is made easier (in theory), as you don’t actually need to install anything other than NodeJS.
Now you might be asking yourself why I say “in theory” when taking about deployment. The fact is that deploying a NodeJS application is a pain, since all you end up doing is making [your preferred webserver here] proxy all the calls to your local application. Why? you may be asking…
The fact that each NodeJS application you create establishes its own server, means anything will clash with your already installed webserver, since you can only have one webserver per TCP port. So if you want to host all your applications as well as any new node project you come up with, then you will end up taking this route. It’s not terrible, but just means you now need to support yet another thing. There are tools out there to help you with such thing, but let’s not digress.
Building the application was fairly painless, and using Jade was the big highlight for me. For a while now I had looked into templating engines, and really wanted to delve into it a little more. I had previously looked at jQuery Templates, Ext and Dust.js, but Jade is totally different, in a way that actually pleases the eyes (except when it doesn’t 
).
Did I become a NodeJs expert? No way!
Will I keep looking and building sexy applications with it? Heck yeah!
Enough about me though.
Have a look at the application I wrote here, and make sure to send me pull requests if you would like to improve it.

Creating, testing and maintaining a large JavaScript code base is not easy — especially since great resources on how to do this are hard to find. This page is a collection of the best articles, videos and presentations we’ve found on the topic.
We come across a lot of great articles on creating, testing and maintaining large JavaScript applications. This page is a continously updated list of articles that help explain the syntax of JavaScript, how to organize your projects, how to test your code, and what’s on the horizon. Have fun!
Are you are interested in making JavaScript run blazingly fast in Chrome? This talk takes a look under the hood in V8 to help you identify how to optimize your JavaScript code. We’ll show you how to leverage V8′s sampling profiler to eliminate performance bottlenecks and optimize JavaScript programs, and we’ll expose how V8 uses hidden classes and runtime type feedback to generate efficient JIT code.
