Description:

jQuery plugins are everywhere, and the chance that YOU will write one—if you haven't already—are pretty high. It might start with a little bit of functionality that you want to reuse or share with someone else, but before you know it... you've released dozens of jQuery plugins and you're writing articles and giving presentations on jQuery Plugin Authoring Best Practices at conferences.... Ok, maybe that's just me. Regardless, there are many techniques you should know for writing your own reusable jQuery code, or "jQuery plugin," in a way that makes it feel like a natural extension of jQuery. In this talk, you'll learn how to create custom selectors, chainable methods that double as getters and setters, and traversal or filtering methods that are .end()-able. You'll learn how to organize your code in IIFEs and namespaces, extend option defaults, and even create a custom package.json for your plugin, so that it can be submitted to the upcoming jQuery plugins index.

AWESOME! Using actual JavaScript file as a presentation instead of a bunch of slides and using the main concepts in the presentation format itself.

This presentation was excellent! Not only did Ben Alman go over his presentation with actual code examples that were documented nicely, he was also able to get the audience involved by being actively involved with the audience and explicitly going through real world examples that every jQuery plugin author encounters. Great job! I look forward to hearing more about the work you do.

Ben Alman is such a great speaker and teacher. He delivered valuable informations for actual plugin authors and gave good explanations and tips for people less familiar with it.

Definitely one of the top 3 presentations at the conference. Excellent delivery, presentation and code samples. Picked up some great ideas that I'll use immediately.

This was a good intro to plugin writing. But it was really basic jQuery material that I would think most in the room already knew. I certainly did.
