I’ll be speaking at the Victoria.NET SIG meeting next week in Melbourne about jQuery. Come along if you want to learn about what jQuery is and how it can help you in your ASP.NET applications. RSVP details below.
jQuery: The way JavaScript should be
Thursday 29th January 2009
5:30pm (Pizza and drinks served); 6pm (presentations start)
Microsoft Theatre, Level 5, 4 Freshwater Place, Southbank
Hate the thought of writing JavaScript? Get frustrated by cross-browser DOM quirks? Ever wondered how those spiffy sites do that animation without Flash or Silverlight? Think that JavaScript isn’t a real programming language? Well come and see how jQuery makes writing JavaScript fun again. Microsoft is now shipping and supporting jQuery, an open-source JavaScript library, with ASP.NET and Visual Studio. jQuery is fast, lean, simple and hugely expandable, to enable you to build the most compelling web applications quickly and easily.
About the speaker:

I couldn’t make it yesterday. Did it get recorded?

Hi Christian,
I did record the session using Live Meeting however I forgot to turn my microphone on until about 45 minutes in. I haven’t had a chance to process the recording yet but when I do I might attempt to dub some dialogue over that period so that it’s not a complete loss. When I do I’ll post the details up here.

For people who were at the session the question was asked how to do custom events with jQuery. Although Damian was stumped I’ve posted the answer here: http://www.aaron-powell.com/blog/january-2009/custom-eventing-with-jquery.aspx
