This document discusses building maintainable and extensible JavaScript applications using a modular architecture pattern. It recommends separating an application into independent modules that communicate through well-defined interfaces. Each module should live within its own "sandbox" to achieve loose coupling and allow refactoring without affecting other modules. The document then introduces the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern as an implementation of this modular architecture for web applications. It provides JavaScript examples of implementing MVC by defining private module areas and interfaces that modules use to communicate and pass data between each other.
