Getting started on AJAX with jQuery:

We'll hurtle straight into using jQuery to handle your AJAX; Rummage about in code, 'hijaxing' links and doing fashionable things like Progressive Enhancement; JSON and JSONP; solutions to get around the 'Same Domain Policy'. We'll work through a bunch of examples to POST and GET data from various sources. If there's time we'll explore more of jQuery's AJAX methods and events and maybe even look at live ajax event handling in large single-page apps.

George's presentation style is entertaining and leaps along at quite a rate. (If you've attended George's Get Going with JQuery session then you have an idea what you're in for.) There will be a few minutes' refresher on jQuery basics then it's non-stop AJAX. Some experience with JavaScript will help but if your world is C# and curly brackets then I'm sure you'll be as happy as a pig in, er, shift+]

An energetic and entertaining introduction to jQuery and all it's cross-browser loveliness:

Applying jQuery to your pages with Progressive Enhacement; the CSS-like selector syntax; binding and handling events; effects; plugins and ajax. Then perhaps we'll do a little more ajax. If needed we'll chat about closures, JSONP, cross-domain issues and solutions. Lots of code and demos along the way and avoiding yawny slides.

A great session for those fairly new to jQuery or who would like to do more with it. We also dive into some advanced usage and best practices.

Described by a previous audience member as "Eddie Izzard does tech".

All of a sudden it's a doddle to make web apps for mobile devices.

We'll whiz through the goals of jQuery Mobile and ponder which devices we can target.

Romping through some code examples in George's usual unorthodox style, we'll build up pages using the cunning Unobtrusive techniques that jQuery Mobile is imbued with. We'll see how interactions can be added and how elements can be styled using jQuery UI theming.
