Please note: This talk has already run in the community circuit however I am happy to speak on this subject again.

The javascript framework jQuery is now being used by the big hitters of the internet world: Google, Dell, Digg, Technorati, etc. But what is it that this very compact (and unobtrusive) framework does that draws attention and how?

This session will dig deep under the jQuery hood and will show you some of the powerful features of the framework, how to use them and how you can get the most out of them. Items covered include the jQuery core, selecting and traversing, manipulating the DOM / CSS, event handling and Ajax. If you are looking to implement jQuery in your projects and need info on the “juicy bits” then this session is for you!

Where and when has this talk been done?
