Last weekend I went up to Cambridge, MA for the ’09 jQuery Conference. Two days of great jQuery/JavaScript goodness! I gotta say that was the best conference I’ve been to in awhile.
There were a couple presentations I had to skip but the breakout sessions more then made up for them. All in all I took home some great tips & tricks for:
- writting efficient jQuery code
- using custom events for single page web apps
- speeding up page load with tools like labjs
- building iPhone apps via jQTouch
- and the biggest tip of all… get a hotel within a mile from conference
The conference was held at the Microsoft New England Research & Development Center aka MS NERD. Took this panoramic shot of Boston from the lunch area duing conference…

Great venue!! The wifi was sick! Looking forward to the next event @ MS NERD Center.
Check out the presentation slides from the conference. Make sure you go next year!
