jQuery Conference 2011 – Preconference Training

Posted on by

What started, with great demand, at the San Francisco Bay Area conference last year and has continued on for the conferences thereafter is our preconference training.  We are once again offering preconference training on April 15th for the jQuery Conference 2011: San Francisco Bay Area but for the first time offering two separate classes, beginner and advanced.

Introduction to jQuery given by Bocoup

BocoupBocoup gave a bunch of advanced and hack day training classes in Boston last year in addition to the preconference Introduction to jQuery class, which also was greatly attended.  We are very happy to announce that Bocoup will once again be giving the Introduction to jQuery class.

From Bocoup.com:

The training will be given by Ben Alman (the jQuery plugin guy) and Adam Sontag (the yayQuery guy), and has been designed to give attendees a basic understanding of the jQuery API, development techniques, and best practices. In addition, attendees will learn about both jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile, and will be given an introduction to extending jQuery with custom plugins.

As usual there is a limited number of tickets for this training class and they are selling fast.  You’ll need to hurry if you want a seat for this class.

Tickets for Beginner training are $299 (plus Eventbright fees) and all proceeds go directly to the jQuery Project.

Please make sure to thank Bocoup for their support.

Advanced jQuery given by Jupiter JavaScript Consulting

BocoupNew this year is an additional track for Advanced jQuery and we are happy to have Jupiter JavaScript Consulting give this class. JuptierJS builds and maintains JavaScriptMVC and has plenty of experience building complex jQuery apps.

From jupiterjs.com:

The following is a rough list of topics we’d like to cover.  I list them here quasi hierarchically.  But in reality, we’ll cover most of these topics throughout the day.

  • Application Design
  • Thin Server Architecture
  • State Management
  • History Enabled Websites
  • Widget Design
  • Event Oriented Architecture
  • Custom Events
  • Pub-Sub
  • Event Delegation
  • 1-2-3 Layers / Separation of Concerns
  • Organizing Ajax and the Domain Model
  • Deffereds
  • Ajax Fixtures
  • Client Side Templates
  • The Perfect jQuery Plugin
  • Prototypal Inheritance
  • File/Folder Organization
  • Dependency Management
  • Production Builds
  • Testing
  • QUnit, Jasmine, Selenium, FuncUnit, Waitr, etc
  • High Performance jQuery
  • Even More Design Reviews

Yes, that’s a whole lot to cover! So come and be prepared to have your mind blown (and let me know if there’s something else you’d like to learn).

As usual there is a limited number of tickets for this training class and they are selling fast.  You’ll need to hurry if you want a seat for this class.

Tickets for Advanced training are $399 (plus Eventbright fees) and all proceeds go directly to the jQuery Project.

    Any chance this will be recorded and purchasable if people can’t make the conference?
