JavaScript Linting

We use JSHint and JSCS for checking the quality of the JavaScript—JSHint for linting, and JSCS for ensuring consistent code. There is a .jshintrc and a .jscs file in the root of the project, and your editor probably has a plugin available which will show you when you violate these standards.
