jQuery & CSS Selectors 9am CTby Estelle Weyl The combination of CSS and jQuery allows for powerful DOM selection and traversal. By employing CSS selectors, and adding some more, jQuery allows us to target elements in a document based not only on ancestor, descendant, and sibling relationships, but on attributes, values, states, and relations the target elements do or do not have. When you know and understand the power of selectors, you can pinpoint any element on the page. This session covers all selectors, from basic CSS, to selectors unique to jQuery and those new to CSS3. ❦ |

Progressive Enhancement 3pm CTIn the beginning, progressive enhancement was simple: HTML layered with CSS layered with JavaScript. That worked fine when there were two browsers, but in today?s world of multiple devices and multiple browsers, it?s time for a progressive enhancement reboot. At the core is the understanding that the web is not print ? the same rules don?t apply. As developers and consumers we?ve been fooled into thinking about print paradigms for too long. In this talk, you?ll learn just how different the web is and how the evolution of progressive enhancement can lead to better user experiences as well as happier developers and users. ❦ |

jQuery Development Workflow 2pm CTJavaScript is a powerful and flexible language that allows you to write very elegant programs. However, it has some parts that are easily breakable and no matter what you are writing it is very important to not to ship broken code. Fortunately, there are tools that were designed to catch potential problems in your code and report about them before the deployment of your code. This talk is about integrating such tools into your daily development workflow. It will give you a basic idea of the problems that JavaScript has and approaches you can take to prevent those problems. Along the way, we will introduce JSHint, a community-driven code quality tool, and how we use it at Disqus to make sure that we don't ship broken code to 500m+ visitors. The talk will also explain why code quality tools are important to the community and describe our plans towards the next iterations of JSHint. ❦ |
