I’m currently responsible for rolling out the use of jQuery to the community of Web Developers within our company. Part of this involves presenting a course, however another part involves communicating standards and best practice.

If you Google 'jQuery best practice', you’ll probably find the following among the search results. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/09/16/jquery-examples-and-best-practices/ http://www.artzstudio.com/2009/04/jquery-performance-rules/

These have been helpful and I have gleamed much useful information on them. However, what I would be really interested in would be any tips, traps, opinions, etc, on best practice from experienced jQuery developers and those who may have found themselves in a similar position to myself. Any good links would also be appreciated.

EDIT:

Added a jQuery Coding Standards section on my own page:
