Speakers at jQuery Summit Ben Alman Session: jQuery & QUnit Session: Building Your Own jQuery Plugins "Co wboy" Ben Alman currentlycurrently work at Bocoup as Director of Training and Pluginization, where I am responsible for the development of beginner and advanced JavaScript, jQuery and HTML5 training curricula. In addition to my training and client work at Bocoup, I write articles and give presentations advocating JavaScript and jQuery code organization techniques and best practices. When he's not creating a new plugin (or writing articles on creating plugins), Ben can be found in the official jQuery IRC channel, helping newbies learn how to $('body').append('hello world').

Nicholas Zakas Session: Progressive Enhancement jQuery Summit Sessions Designer Track jQuery & CSS Selectors 9am CT by Estelle Weyl The combination of CSS and jQuery allows for powerful DOM selection and traversal. By employing CSS selectors, and adding some more, jQuery allows us to target elements in a document based not only on ancestor, descendant, and sibling relationships, but on attributes, values, states, and relations the target elements do or do not have. When you know and understand the power of selectors, you can pinpoint any element on the page. This session covers all selectors, from basic CSS, to selectors unique to jQuery and those new to CSS3. ❦ jQuery & HTML5 Video 10am CT by Rick Waldron To be announced soon. ❦ jQuery UI 11am CT by Andrew Wirick jQuery UI is a set of interactions and widgets that are implemented "the jQuery way". With easy to use plugins for interactions and widgets, we'll see how jQuery UI fits and extends the jQuery plugin pattern. In this interactive session we will cover: How jQuery UI follows jQuery with dead-simple getting started How UI widgets and interactions utilize and extend the jQuery plugin pattern Why you'd use jQuery UI widgets and interactions over other plugins Leveraging jQuery UI's widget factory to create your own rich widgets ❦ Building Your Own jQuery Plugins 1pm CT by Ben Alman To be announced soon. ❦ jQuery & Browser Plugins 2pm CT by Sarah Chipps Browser plugins are a different animal than normal web dev. jQuery can make the process a less painful and much more intuitive. Learn how to include jQuery in Chrome and Firefox plugins and some tips and tricks on how best to incorporate jQuery's robust list of functions. ❦ Progressive Enhancement 3pm CT by Nicholas Zakas In the beginning, progressive enhancement was simple: HTML layered with CSS layered with JavaScript. That worked fine when there were two browsers, but in today?s world of multiple devices and multiple browsers, it?s time for a progressive enhancement reboot. At the core is the understanding that the web is not print ? the same rules don?t apply. As developers and consumers we?ve been fooled into thinking about print paradigms for too long. In this talk, you?ll learn just how different the web is and how the evolution of progressive enhancement can lead to better user experiences as well as happier developers and users. ❦ Developer Track jQuery & MVC 9am CT by Addy Osmani To be announced soon. ❦ Structuring Your DOM-based Application 10am CT by Garann Means Targeted to provide bite-sized strategies you can implement in a short amount of time with minimal disruption to unchain your application from the DOM. Means walks the attendeees through a series of steps you can take to undo architectural damage resulting from: building an application on a tight deadline a webpage evolving into a web app too many plugins state management tightly coupled to click events not being in a position to rewrite ❦ jQuery & iframe Programming 11am CT by Ben Vinegar When you first think of iframes, you probably think of embedded YouTube videos and web forms. But iframes can do a lot more than just embed third-party content. As an inline, sandboxed DOM environment, the iframe is a powerful tool for communicating across domains, loading resources asynchronously, securing content, and more. In this talk we'll explore a number of helpful ways to script iframes, both conventional and not. (Mostly not.) ❦ Deferreds into jQuery 1pm CT by Dan Heberden To be announced soon. ❦ jQuery Development Workflow 2pm CT by Anton Kovalyov JavaScript is a powerful and flexible language that allows you to write very elegant programs. However, it has some parts that are easily breakable and no matter what you are writing it is very important to not to ship broken code. Fortunately, there are tools that were designed to catch potential problems in your code and report about them before the deployment of your code. This talk is about integrating such tools into your daily development workflow. It will give you a basic idea of the problems that JavaScript has and approaches you can take to prevent those problems. Along the way, we will introduce JSHint, a community-driven code quality tool, and how we use it at Disqus to make sure that we don't ship broken code to 500m+ visitors. The talk will also explain why code quality tools are important to the community and describe our plans towards the next iterations of JSHint. ❦ jQuery & QUnit 3pm CT by Ben Alman To be announced soon. ❦ How Online Conferences Work Once you are registered, you will receive a follow-up email to confirm your reservation.
