Description:

Building on the principles taught last year in my session titled "Contextual jQuery" (See http://bit.ly/contextualjquery for a video), we'll take off the kid gloves and dive into the techniques you will need to write adaptive, reusable and responsible jQuery. Techniques that will be covered in this talk include: methods for discovering users actions for just-in-time initialization, understanding delegation and how to use it to write code with minimal setup methods, using deferreds to write code that works the same way regardless of the initialization state and using localStorage to predict user actions over time to provide for a faster user experience. In addition to the initialization strategies, we'll look at ways to glean data from the current environment to allow your code to be responsive instead of declarative.

Just awesome! One of the best presentations at jqcon. Excellent delivery, pacing and code samples. Some great ideas that I will most certainly use.

This was easily one of my favorite talks of the conference. Both content and presentation were excellent, with great examples and lots of think about. Bonus points for not missing a beat in the face of projector failure.

My only disappointment was with the amount left off the end, despite great pacing. I'd love to see a full 60-minute Contextual 3 session next year.

Thank you everyone for the amazing feedback. I am just so excited you all found the talk so useful! Be sure to reach out to me on twitter, etc if you run into issues trying to implement what I covered!

Implementing stuff from this literally this week as it fits perfectly with a project I am currently working on...even down to the specific tips on draggables and delegates. Great talk and delivery!

Clear, practical, and applicable. Most useful presentation of the weekend! I've already rewritten a very complex UI using the material presented.

Interesting talk! I would like to see a jsperf run comparing bind VS delegate on the various event types. I theory it makes sense to save event bindings an listen on the parent but if you are binding to document then searching for the target across the DOM seems like it would be costly, especially on scroll or mouse move (I think he mentioned this). Unless e.target is a shortcut to retrieving the dom element? Either way great topic!
