My first talk of the day was seeing George Adamson talk about AJAX with jQuery.
Having experience with jQuery I thought this would be a good idea to see if George used the same practices as I do, which he did… which means either we’re both doing it wrong or we’re both doing things correctly… and I’m sticking to the latter 
Not having heard of George I had no idea what to expect.
George is a defiantly a character, in fact on the DD9 speaker page they could have stopped after just three words
George is nuts
He has a great presentational style and is able to deliver comments about IE with impeccable timing
After satisfying people who need an agenda what has the content?
George
- talked about closures and event delegation
- showed demos of using the live method when creating new elements
- demonstrated the modern way (at the time of writing) of creating Hijax links using the data-remote attribute
- showed a workaround for cross domain AJAX calls using the callback? in the request and JSONP
The last thing I’ll say about this talk was how well George managed to still run demos even though the demo gods did their best to ruin his presentation and screw up his solution.
