ABSTRACT:
You already know jQuery and you use it to interact with your page elements and easily add Ajax to your project. Well, that's only the meat and potatoes of working with jQuery.
It may be time for you to kick it up a notch and add a few more jQuery tricks to your utility belt. Come and see what other features are packed in jQuery that can solve some of your problems.
Here's a sampling of what we will look at:
* When to create your own plugins
* Custom events
* The Deferred object
* $.Callbacks()
* data attributes
