jQuery Behaviours

Below are slides from a short presentation I gave to my colleagues at f1000. The slides contain a brief background on Javascript behaviours and provide a comparison between jQueries’ bind and live behaviours along with the liveQuery plugin.

I have also created two little pages which demonstrate event bubbling and how the different behaviour mechanisms work with form submission (hint: try using Internet Exploder with the ‘live’ example).

A PDF version of the slides is available.

Thanks to my manager Phil, for letting me post this on my personal blog.

Javascript & Ajax Basics (Slides + Console)

The following slides are from a presentation I gave at Kiwiplan (my employer).

I’ve also created a live Javascript console to play around with Javascript in a browser. You can download the source and play about with it on your local server. You will need Java and Grails installed and can run the server using the usual grails command.

grails run-app

The console can then be accessed at http://localhost:8080/AjaxServer/ (only tested in Firefox).

Thanks @cgarethc (development manager @ Kiwiplan) for allowing me to post this on my personal blog.
