There is a Capital DotNetNuke User Group meeting being held on 1/21/09 @ 7:00 PM till 9:00 PM EST

Location: 1900 Gallows Road, Vienna, VA 22182

Presenter: Joe Brinkman

This weeks meeting is focusing on the use of JQuery in DotNetNuke development. See the synopsis below for more details. Mark your calendars and I hope to see you there!

Over the last few years, with the adoption of AJAX and RIA frameworks, JavaScript has taken on added importance in the development of web applications. jQuery is one of the leading JavaScript frameworks and greatly simplifies JavaScript development. Microsoft’s recent announcement about adopting jQuery as a standard part of the ASP.Net platform prompted the DotNetNuke team to make the commitment to improve jQuery support within the platform.

In this presentation, we will provide a brief overview of jQuery and look at how we can leverage it in DotNetNuke to improve user interactions. We’ll look at the jQuery support offered in DotNetNuke 5.0 and how we can take advantage of these features in our module and DotNetNuke widget development.

Since Antonio mentioned that they will be streaming it, I assume that it also will be taped ... and made available later.

And, I have noted that the Will Strohl and ODUG crew have been doing the same.

As for me, I'm just hoping that everyone will have safely gotten out to DC by the time I have to steer around the beltway for the meeting!
