jQuery Workshop
In this course students will learn how to add interactivity and asynchronous behavior to web sites using Javascript via the jQuery library and its companion the jQuery UI library.
The workshop consists of: Beginning jQuery Advanced jQuery and jQueryUI
This is a hands on course for developers so bring your laptop and be prepared to write a lot of code!
Server-Side Push: Comet, Web Sockets, and Server-Sent Events come of age
From client-side polling to SSE (Server-Sent Events) and WebSockets.
Server-side browser push technologies have been around for a while in one way or another. From crude browser polling to Flash enabled frameworks. In this session you'll get a code-driven walk-through on the evolution and mechanics of server-push technologies. From client-side polling to SSE (Server-Sent Events) and WebSockets. We'll explore a few implementation techniques, the protocols involved and the fallbacks and along the way I will help you gain a new practical understanding on this rapidly changing family of technologies and techniques
Mobile Web Development with jQuery Mobile
In this workshop students will learn about mobile web development with jQuery Mobile, the Touch-Optimized Web Framework for Smartphones & Tablets. jQuery Mobile provides a unified user interface system across all popular mobile device platforms by building on the foundation of the jQuery and jQuery UI frameworks.

Testing your JavaScript with Jasmine
In this session you'll learn about Jasmine, a behavior-driven development (BDD) framework for testing JavaScript code. Come and learn how to raise the bar for your client side testing using the BDD mindset.
In this session you'll learn:
- A bit about BDD and how it will lead you to better software
- How to test non-DOM-dependent JavaScript
- How to Jasmine can ease you in-browser testing (DOM dependent)
- How to run client-side tests from the command line and integrate them into your build/CI environment
Meet the Replacements: CoffeeScript, SASS and HAML
In this session you'll learn why web developers have flock to this set of replacement technologies on the web stack. CoffeeScript is JavaScript without the warts, SASS/SCSS is a better CSS and HAML makes your HTML markup simpler and cleaner.

Beginning POJOs introduces you to open source lightweight web development using Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) and the tools and frameworks that enable this. Tier by tier, this book guides you through the construction of complex but lightweight enterprise Java-based web applications. Such applications are centered around several major open source lightweight frameworks, including Spring, Hibernate, Tapestry, and JBoss (including the new lightweight JBoss Seam).
Additional support comes from the most successful and prevalent open-source tools: Eclipse and Ant, and the increasingly popular TestNG. This book is ideal if you’re new to open source and lightweight Java. You’ll learn how to build a complete enterprise Java-based web application from scratch, and how to integrate the different open source frameworks to achieve this goal. You’ll also learn techniques for rapidly developing such applications.

Open source has had a profound effect on the Java community. Many Java open source projects have even become de-facto standards. The principal purpose of Enterprise Java Development on a Budget is to guide you through the development of a real enterprise Java application using nothing but open source Java tools, projects, and frameworks.
This book is organized by activities and by particular open source projects that can help you take on the challenges of building the different tiers of your applications. The authors also present a realistic example application that covers most areas of enterprise application development. You'll find information on how to use and configure JBoss, Ant, XDoclet, Struts, ArgoUML, OJB, Hibernate, JUnit, SWT/JFace, and others. Not only will you learn how to use each individual tool, but you'll also understand how to use them in synergy to create robust enterprise Java applications within your budget.
Enterprise Java Development on a Budget combines coverage of best practices with information on the right open source Java tools and technologies, all of which will help support your Java development budget and goals.
