June Corvallis .NET Users Group Meeting - jQuery and ASP.NET June 25, 2009

June Corvallis .NET User Group (CDNUG) Meeting:

Jason will be presenting jQuery and ASP.NET. With the announcement last September that Microsoft will be shipping jQuery with Visual Studio and supporting it (http://bit.ly/X5bO0), jQuery has now become a tool that ASP.NET web developers cannot ignore.

From Scott Guthrie:

"jQuery is a lightweight open source JavaScript library (only 15kb in size) that in a relatively short span of time has become one of the most popular libraries on the web.

A big part of the appeal of jQuery is that it allows you to elegantly (and efficiently) find and manipulate HTML elements with minimum lines of code. jQuery supports this via a nice "selector" API that allows developers to query for HTML elements, and then apply "commands" to them. One of the characteristics of jQuery commands is that they can be "chained" together - so that the result of one command can feed into another. jQuery also includes a built-in set of animation APIs that can be used as commands. The combination allows you to do some really cool things with only a few keystrokes."

Hope to see you there!
