In this course students will learn how to add interactivity and asynchronous behavior to web sites using Javascript via the jQuery library and its companion the jQuery UI library.
The workshop consists of: Beginning jQuery Advanced jQuery and jQueryUI
This is a hands on course for developers so bring your laptop and be prepared to write a lot of code!
Testing your JavaScript with Jasmine
In this session you'll learn about Jasmine, a behavior-driven development (BDD) framework for testing JavaScript code. Come and learn how to raise the bar for your client side testing using the BDD mindset.
In this session you'll learn:
- A bit about BDD and how it will lead you to better software
- How to test non-DOM-dependent JavaScript
- How to Jasmine can ease you in-browser testing (DOM dependent)
- How to run client-side tests from the command line and integrate them into your build/CI environment
MVC on the Client with Spine.js
Recently a emergence of lightweight Javascript Frameworks has brought structure to client side by providing MVC (Model-View-Controller) implementations. In this talk we'll examine two of the most prominent frameworks; BackBone.js and Spine and their implications on how we structure and design our applications
Recently a emergence of lightweight Javascript Frameworks has brought structure to client side by providing MVC (Model-View-Controller) implementations. In this talk we'll examine one of the most prominent up and coming frameworks; Spine.js and the effect on how we structure and design our applications
- Spine is a lightweight framework for building JavaScript web applications. Spine gives you a MVC structure and then gets out of your way, allowing you to concentrate on the fun stuff, building awesome web applications.
10 jQuery Techniques for better Web Applications
In this session you'll learn 10 tried and true jQuery techniques/plugins/practice.
From this jQuery session, you will learn how to create responsive, clean and maintainable client side code.

Beginning POJOs introduces you to open source lightweight web development using Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) and the tools and frameworks that enable this. Tier by tier, this book guides you through the construction of complex but lightweight enterprise Java-based web applications. Such applications are centered around several major open source lightweight frameworks, including Spring, Hibernate, Tapestry, and JBoss (including the new lightweight JBoss Seam).
Additional support comes from the most successful and prevalent open-source tools: Eclipse and Ant, and the increasingly popular TestNG. This book is ideal if you’re new to open source and lightweight Java. You’ll learn how to build a complete enterprise Java-based web application from scratch, and how to integrate the different open source frameworks to achieve this goal. You’ll also learn techniques for rapidly developing such applications.

Enterprise Java Development on a Budget is an annotated roadmap covering every major aspect of Open Source enterprise Java development "on a budget". This book allows a programmer or programming team to develop complex applications for enterprises using as little money as possible. Open Source has had a profound effect on the Java Community. Many Java Open Source projects have even become de-facto standards. The principal purpose of this book is to guide the reader through the development of a real enterprise Java application(s) using nothing but Open Source Java Tools, Projects and Frameworks. Each chapter will deal with an aspect of the design and development of the application as they relate to a specific tool or framework being used. In areas of the application where there may be implementation choices in terms of which Open Source project to use, we will show one more possible paths and explain why, in the context of the application we chose one project/tool versus competing/similar ones. This book is intended to define the role of Open Source on the Java Community. It will provide information on how, when and why to use Open Source. It will also contain as a useful appendix a catalog of Open Source Projects/Products making an impact. The catalog provides information and examples necessary for managers, developers and architects to make decisions on whether to use or evaluate specific projects.
