jQuery is an open-source Javascript client framework that "simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development". With Microsoft announcing that jQuery will ship with future releases of ASP.NET MVC and Visual Studio, jQuery may well become the Javascript framework of choice for .NET web development.
This talk will provide an introduction to jQuery's capabilities and syntax, show you how easily you can add rich behaviour to your pages using the jQuery framework, and look briefly at combining jQuery with ASP.NET MVC to implement simple AJAX-style callbacks. Review: In this talk, Dylan Beattie introduces the jQuery framework - a technology that started off as alternative but has entered into the mainstream. It provides a library of browser functionality that will be reliably reproduced in all browsers. The main benefits are for websites with rich interfaces and AJAX where advanced functionality can be achieved with only a few lines of code. jQuery generally provides functionality that can also be achieved in flash or silverlight. The big advantage of jQuery is that it works on top of basic HTML and CSS that any client can read. This makes it easier for Google to spider website content and makes it easier to support accessibility functions such as screen readers. This means that you don't need to create two versions to support all of these things. Dylan gives a live demonstration of how to achieve some simple rich functionality with jQuery and then builds on this to produce more complicated functions. He also explains some formats that can be used for writing jQuery to make it difficult to read but reduce the lines of code. This was a very useful introduction to some of the functions of jQuery that can sometimes seem complicated to new users viewing other people's code. jQuery appears to be a very useful library providing lots of functionality in a very easy to use format and reducing the complexity of supporting all of the browsers in the world. |
