Topic: jQuery for the Enterprise

jQuery is widely known for its visual effects, interactive animations, and stylish jQuery UI widgets. However, jQuery also provides a less glamorous, feature rich enterprise offering. Come join me and explore jQuery in the workplace where we will discuss validation, data templates, and the extensible plugin architecture. This is an intermediate session. Attendees should be familiar with jQuery selectors and the basics of using third-party plugins.
