jQuery Performance and New Features

jQuery is the de facto standard library for building web applications – and it ships with WordPress! In this talk we’ll look at new improvements that’ve recently arrived in jQuery, changes that are coming, and solutions for optimizing the performance of your web application.

This talk is given by John Resig, who is the Dean of Open Source and head of JavaScript development at Khan Academy and the author of the book Pro JavaScript Techniques. He’s also the creator and lead developer of the jQuery JavaScript library.
