I haven't seen too much for stright java script with OO. It's a shame i 
wanted to dig more into node.js and trying to figure out alot of exotic 
function calling and parameters for the objects would take quite some time in 
a basic text editor so i kinda put playing with that on hold for the time 
being.  Some of the web IDE look nice but i hate web IDE's.. they are so 
clunky like working over a network.

As you some TDD, this video was a great help, at least with basic concepts 
and even though it's specific for java and eclipse, it's an awesome reference 
that can carry over to other languages.. check it out if you get some time:

Ya thats alot of code to go through, i have the same problem.  I was 
bascially learning as i went and didn't know to much about good design 
concepts and did alot of copy/paste of classes and rewoking to get stuff to 
do what i wanted at the time i was writting it.  Stepping away for months or 
more at a time then coming back and forgetting where i left off.  In the end 
it's a working mess, but very hard to extend now which calls for a good 
reworking.  it does suck alot! hehe
