jQuery: Making JavaScript Fun Again

CMS: Drupal, Any, Many

Friday - 3:00pm - Friday - 4:00pm

Description:

jQuery is a relatively new JavaScript library that has dazzled many web developers with its revolutionary syntax, flexibility, speed and ease of use. Many CMSes, like Drupal, have included jQuery in their distributions and have used it to enhance the user interface and experience.

This talk will give you an overview of JavaScript and its use, and how jQuery gets rid of many annoyances and makes coding the browser fun again. We'll do some live jQuery'ing and show off some cool tricks that are useful when building CMS-style interfaces.

This session is based on the talk I gave at DrupalCon/BarCamp Brussels a couple months back, but will be more 'hands on'.
