2009-09-01T15:16:55+00:00 172 1401 If you've seen the results from TaskSpeed, you know that the sexy syntactical sugar of jQuery comes with a few performance disadvantages. jQuery makes it quite easy for you to write some pretty inefficient code, so we'll discuss how to develop in a terse style but with the best possible performance. We'll cover: * Why everything you've learned about the context argument is wrong. * Optimal code architecture approaches, e.g. Module Pattern, Constructors, Object Literal * Why your selectors in jQuery shouldn't match your ones in CSS * Where Sizzle doesn't optimize where you'd think it would * How to write jQuery plugins that are blazingly fast In this session we'll also touch on how to prepare your code for a run through the YUI Compressor. Using real-world examples, we'll reduce the minified size of scripts by 50% using techniques that retain readability and maintainability. 2009-09-01T15:24:35+00:00 2009-09-12T12:00:00+00:00 4.02 2009-09-01T15:11:39+00:00 The 2009 jQuery Conference. 2009-09-13T00:00:00+00:00 http://events.jquery.com/jquery-conference-2009/ 172 Microsoft Cambridge 2009-09-12T00:00:00+00:00 2009-09-01T15:11:39+00:00 3.85 http://twitter.com/paul_irish http://aurgasm.us Molecular, Inc http://molecular.com 1477 http://www.linkedin.com/in/paulirish Boston Paul Irish http://paulirish.com 4.32 /avatars/1477/thumb/greenavatar_crop.jpg
