Description:

jQuery 1.7 has several improvements to both the event API and plumbing. Highlights include: * A new jQuery.fn.on() method that unifies direct and delegated event handling * Special event handlers can process trigger data and detect delegated events * Improved performance for delegated events * The normal quota of IE 6/7/8 bug fixes

Loved it! I almost wish Rick Walton hadn't spilled the beans on the new event API at last month's jQuery Boston meetup. That would have made it even more exciting.

I know that memes aren't everyone's thing, but I found the talk hilarious. Multiple belly laughs.

Funny and informative.

Such a great presentation! This really helped me understand the restructuring of the events api and how it was restructured. Not only did Dave help keeps audiences attention with LOL cats but he also helped explain these decisions in a simple, concise manner which helped me understand the jQuery api better. Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing you speak in the future.

Fantastic delivery, of course. And it wasn't just entertaining, it was really informative. Hard to resist the urge to move to 1.7 beta on a production application to start moving to the new on/off calls.
