While javascript has very specific issues and problems, I'd like to see more "generic" programming resources on how to develop fat clients, wether they are desktop or web , how to structure an app , etc ...

You dont learn much if you are only applying solutions that are relevant to javascript.

Since most of devs know javascript , it can be used to express "generic" algorithms , but OOP design patterns not so much. Yet a large application you need those patterns. And these are the same patterns one would use to code Java , C++ , C# , obj-c mobile/desktop clients. But i guess javascript flexibility, and the "DHTML battery included" , DOM & CSS gives one the impression one doesnt need them .

Sounds like you're looking for this: http://addyosmani.com/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/bo...

Of course you can use JavaScript to express OOP patterns. You say it yourself that you need those patterns to develop large apps. Anyone who does otherwise either leaves behind a mess of a code base or is being naive. You can have classes right now in JavaScript, it's just a matter of educating developers.

Where I work we have build a framework which is quite powerful for handling large JavaScript codebases. http://www.caplin.com/developer/component/bladerunner

I'm surprised there isn't an equivalent OS one, I think Yeoman is a pale comparison of it.

We are very open to adding high-quality "generic" programming resources. At least on "organizing" and "testing" there are probably some awesome resources our there. Any recommendations?
