| Re: [webstandards-118] Advocating for Web Standards Best Practices within an Enterprise Environment - One key to success is presenting/advocating with an aim toward how this will benefit the client.

| Re: [webstandards-118] Refactoring as it relates to Front-End Dev - Right. A style guide is a must. But I am speaking here of refactoring existing code, and some practical steps to that end. Writing a style guide, to me, speaks more to a site redesign. On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 3:37 PM, Joe Sepi wro | Jerome Covington | Sep 22, 2009 |

| Re: [webstandards-118] Refactoring as it relates to Front-End Dev - I second this topic as a potential Meetup discussion, and can offer some of the experiences of my company (The Knot) -- though, I can't compare to the book, as I also haven't read it.
