Conversations that have things to look at

From irc 5/9/2013:

[10:57] seann: cool. oh, hey... I was skimming through this yesterday...
[10:58] seann: http://addyosmani.com/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/book/
[10:58] seann: talking about design patterns.
[10:59] seann: I've looked at requirejs in the past and until javascript comes out with its own module functionality this might be worthwhile... not sure how it'll integrate with the greater ecourses framework but we'll see.
[11:00] seann: I had a chat with Nyo yesterday... most of the stuff around the Activity Framework (PAF), how eCourses in general is going to use it, and how are widgets are going to play with it is all undefined. Nyo has some rough ideas but that's about as far as that is.
[11:02] seann: regardless, look at the Module Pattern and the Revealing Module Pattern if you have a chance. Have a good afternoon and I'll catch you later on
