Inspired by Aaron Newton\’s \”Programming to the Pattern\”
Aaron Newton is a contrbutor to MooTools and the care-taker of Clientside, CNET.com\’s developer blog. He recently wrote about being inspired to write code differently and a more indepth post about his thoughts on (take a deep breath if you\’re verbally reading this) \”jQuery, MooTools, the Ajax Experience, Programming to the Pattern, and What Really Makes One Framework Different From Another\”. He has inspired me to be more aware of how I write my code. Continue reading Inspired by Aaron Newton\’s \”Programming to the Pattern\”
