Steve Yegge presents a small book on key/value pairs and prototypal inheritance. “I call it the Universal design pattern because it is (by far) the best known solution to the problem of designing open-ended systems, which in turn translates to long-lived systems.”

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://peter.michaux.ca/article/5004"&gt;Transitioning from Java Classes to JavaScript Prototypes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Peter Michaux shows how JavaScript’s prototypal inheritance can run rings around traditional Java-style classes once you figure out how to take advantage of it.
