Adding Roles and Permissions to Laravel's ACL [Laracasts] http://mitchmckenna.com/post/15754/adding-roles-and-permissions-to-laravels-acl-laracasts

This video tutorial goes over [one way] you can add the ability to give user's roles and specify which permissions those roles have. You would have to build upon this further to include additional features such as role inheritance or user-specific permissions (overrides).

Stop Nesting Functions! (But Not All of Them) http://mitchmckenna.com/post/13580/stop-nesting-functions-but-not-all-of-them

Great intro to why you shouldn't nest functions in javascript and how to use js object's prototype.

JavaScript is over fifteen years old; nevertheless, the language is still misunderstood by what is perhaps the majority of developers and designers using the language. One of the most powerful, yet misunderstood, aspects of JavaScript are functions. While terribly vital to JavaScript, their misuse can introduce inefficiency and hinder an application's performance.

A Better Way to Use PHP's MySQLi http://mitchmckenna.com/post/7994/a-better-way-to-use-phps-mysqli

"PHP’s prepared statements (for database access) are fantastic. Not only do they help secure your database queries, but they’re also particularly more efficient for larger products. However, there are a couple issues that appear to make these methods less flexible than we’d hope. For one, we must utilize the bind_result method, and pass in a specific number of variables. However, what happens when this code is within a class, and we won’t immediately know how many variables to pass? Luckily, there’s a solution!"
