jQuery: The way JavaScript should be
When:	Wednesday, 7/21/2010 at 6:30 PM
Where:	Microsoft San Francisco Office, 835 Market Street, Suite 700 San Francisco
Event Description
Hate the thought of writing JavaScript? Get frustrated by cross-browser DOM quirks? Ever wondered how those spiffy sites do that animation without Flash or Silverlight? Think that JavaScript isn't a real programming language? Well come and see how jQuery makes writing JavaScript fun again. Microsoft is now shipping and supporting jQuery, an open-source JavaScript library, with ASP.NET and Visual Studio. Furthermore, the ASP.NET team is actively contributing to jQuery, in order to add new features such as globalization, templating and data-linking. jQuery is fast, lean, simple and hugely expandable, enabling you to build compelling web applications quickly and easily.
