Githubber Brandon Keepers' presentation: "The Plight of Pinocchio: JavaScript's quest to become a real language" at opensoul.org
As many front-end developers do, I bristle a bit at the "[becoming] a real language" bit when used to talk about JavaScript, but he's got a good deck here, and I wish I could've seen this presentation. He talks about testing (and his examples use Cucumber and Jasmine) and about the application of design patterns. (Got me interested in reading Addy Osmani's Essential JavaScript Design Patterns…)

By Ben Cherry, writing at Adequately Good. A good overview of the module pattern in JavaScript. (Albeit, one worth tempering with James Coglan's post "The cost of privacy".)
-
By Ryan Seddon, writing for HTML5 Rocks — an overview and introduction to source maps (available in WebKit nightlies and Chrome Canary), how they work, and why you should care about them. (There's also a technical explanation on how they work…)

A thoughtful piece by Zoe Mickley Gillenwater.
