Javascript:

I've worked with Final Cut Pro, so I am familiar with many transitions, but my main goal is that the user experience is solid.

I spend some time commenting the code after I do a project. The re-usability of functions and elements is very important: ideally all elements can be used by as many different applications as possible. But equally important the code should quick to read by anyone else.

As I said, I feel most comfortable with jQuery. It allows for simple flexibility: powerful interaction techniques are available when only a little code is written. It encourages me to perform new actions, the way javascript does, and paves the way to more powerful user tools.

When I'm coding for either javascript or jQuery, I try to re-use code as much as possible. I do not enjoy having multiple files with the same basic code that all have to be updated. So separate functions are a method I use often.
