Event Details

Speakers:

John is a long time ColdFusion developer who was implementing ColdFusion
powered ajax-like features as early as 1999 by using hidden frames instead
of httpRequest() and WddxRecordset() with CFWDDX in place of JSON.  John
currently specializes in laboratory automation.  With CF server as his
swiss army knife, he integrates CF with myriad technologies including
.NET, Perl, Python, Java and other proprietary interfaces to laboratory
robots.

Agenda:

Many jQuery examples lead to code that is difficult to maintain.  We'll
look at how to decouple anonymous functions to create reusable,
maintainable code.  We'll add jQuery into an existing common application
to make sortable, paginated tables from existing code.  We will replace
standard event handlers and DOM manipulation JavaScript with jQuery
implementations for a before and after view of just how much code jQuery
saves. We will also implement serverside form validation via Ajax without
the user ever leaving the form.
