Interview Questions

1. How do you organize your code? What are some suggestions you find on the web?
   I follow the flow of my webpage as they appear on the page.
   Write comments to what piece of the DOM the code corresponds to (if any).
   Organize the javascript files by folder based on their functionality (forms, classes, data, etc.)
   Choose appropriate and clear file names, similar to declaring proper variable & function names.
   Suggestions found online:
   Encapsulate everything within one directory
   Separate raw data from derived data and other data summaries
   Separate the data from the code.

   Avoid using “final” in a file name.

   1) Figuring out main topic/purpose of the page.
   2) Is there a creative commons template exists for this topic?
   3) If it exists then customize it, test it, decide if it fits project or not. If it does not exist then sketch a basic design, improve it, decide if it fits project or not.
   4) Review project in every aspect, search and fix bugs, improve things
