So, I've been doing a lot of reading, and I think I've finally come to the conclusion as to what my favorite JavaScript construction pattern is.
And the winner is...
I like this pattern more than this pattern:
The reason is because I feel like the first one is a little more easy to read.
It just seems a little more intuitive to me.
The conventions I use may be a little weird to you, but I'll walk you through why I have seemingly random capitalization.
Most functions and variable names I do in camelCase:
I have all objects start with a capital letter.
I know, I know -- "technically everything's an object".
To refine my previous statement, anything that's an object literal or an object created by a constructor.
Anything else, I do regular camelCase.
I find it allows me to recognize quickly where my objects are.
I'd be interested in hearing about your favorite JS patterns.

This would pop up infinite alerts in JS, by the way ;P
