15. The built-in method does not differentiate URLs, it merely updates
session var (Config.language)
Bad for search engines: they get confused
Make different URLs for each locale:
- /en/controller
- /controller/en
- /controller?lang=en
Not that easy now on CakePHP as it makes:
- routes.php complicated
- $html->link needs to be appending the appropriate
language tag
- intercept CakePHP URL translation (forward and backward)

17. Avoid AJAX (very tempting, but resist it)
Avoid document.write()
Why?
<script src="http://example.com/widget/script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="example-widget-container"></div>
Is fine, but can we do better?
Inject widget-container into <body> or <html>

18. Code isolation
Noone’s going to name their variable Beezow-Doo-Doo-Zopittybop-Bop-Bop right?
Always var your variables
Use anonymous functions to contain your functions.
(function(){
MakeMeASandwich();
SudoMakeMeASandwich();
})();
Sure. jQuery is omnipowerful and omniconvenient, but very likely
you’re not the only one thinking so, try to reuse jQuery library if it is
already loaded on a page.
