Agenda

  1. Coding Style
  when in doubt, use camelCase
  constants in all CAPS, w/ _ separating multiple words --> COUNT_ERRORS = 10;
  boolean variables should be prefixed w/ "is" "can" or "should"
  prefix counters with "count" or "num"
  1. common HTML mistakes
  2. Let's try to use a common js coding pattern
 Put code in following order
 1) variable declarations
 2) method declarations
 3) method calls
 Unobtrusive JavaScript -- let's try to stick to it
  1. common js problems, no blocks around ifs, ' ' eval, ==, var methodName = function(){}
  2. managing code for lessons in repos, versioning
  Bryan will create karma-lesson repo
  lessons will have two states "stable" or "unstable", the "stable" commit is tagged "stable"
   everything else is unstable
  will use repo-naming convention from E-Paath but prefixed w/ "karma_"
