This post will cover the basics of creating and organizing MooTools classes so that your web application's JavaScript will stay organized and extendable for years to come.

    Ive been reading blogposts from your blog from time to time.
    And I have to say this must be youre best article written so far.

    It really gives a good introduction, and makes people who are familiar with OOP immediately understand that there’s a really good alternative to using jQuery. (nothing against jQuery)
    Something that many developers out there are to lazy to even consider.
