Speaking At JQuery Camp
by Cody LindleyThursday, September 25th, 2008
This coming Sunday I will be giving a small case study talk at jQuery Camp 2008 (sold out) pertaining to the use of jQuery on the new northface.com site. The material I will be covering will be lessons learned with a focus on how jQuery fits into large scale projects.
Here is a quick overview of my talking points:
- jQuery is the best choice for custom interfaces
- jQuery code (all js code) goes at the bottom of the page
- Almost all JavaScript code belongs in a single .js file
- Protect your jQuery code from others with a self executing anonymous function
- Fork IE from a single location
- Use page identifiers to run jQuery code on unique pages
- Play nice with others by using jQuery event namespaces
If you were lucky enough to get into jQuery Camp, I’ll see you there. If not, beg, borrow, or steal until you find a ticket. It’s going to be the jQuery event of the year!
