Description:
The inclusion of the jQuery JavaScript library in Drupal 5.0 has opened up the possibility of more responsive user interfaces. Use of Ajax/Ahah techniques to do incremental page updates can create a more satisfying interaction, but it also requires some rethinking of how you structure your module.
The session will provide an overview of the issues involved in creating JavaScript-enabled forms that do incremental page updates. I will also present my work towards a generic framework which extends the FormAPI to auto-generate the necessary JavaScript.

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.
