Description:

Writing rich HTML clients can be as complex as coding any backend.

Javascript is a key ingredient to make the UI responsive and dynamic.

However, adding JS code in our tags ends up making our code hard to read, hard to maintain and leaves quite a sour taste in our mouth.

Unobtrusive Javascript enforces the idea to isolate behavior from markup by ""binding"" our events to our UI and handling them separately.

Join me on a session where we explore how to implement UJS using jQuery and Coffeescript. We will explore how to make the markup simpler and easy to understand and on top of that we will implement the behavior using abstractions that will improve the way you write your code bringing back the joy of OO programming to your job.
