jQuery UI developer Kris Borchers, Senior Software Engineer in Red Hat, presented about the improvement of widget factory. For instance, inheritance, Lifecycle – Creation, Lifecycle – Redefine, Lifecycle – Destroy, etc. are introduced during the session. Inheritance _super() / _superApply() Old: $.Widget.prototoype._setOption.call( this, "foo", "bar" ); New: (inside of_setOption) this._super( "foo", "bar" ); Notes: Widgets support inheritance and have at least one parent There was no easy way to call parent methods _supperApply is same just array of args is passed like apply If you want to see the entire information about the topic, go to jQuery Conference section at DaVinci Forum site.

During jQuery Conference Asia, most common problems that mobile web application developers run into have been addressed by Alexander Schmitz, a formal member of jQuery Foundation as well. The presentation topic “jQuery Mobile Common Pitfalls and Gatchas” provided a numerous valuable information. Here is an example, “IM TRYING TO USE THE APPLICATION CACHE AND IT'S NOT WORKING” Some browsers return a status of zero. This causes error handlers to be triggered in jQuery's Ajax function. There is however a workaround $.ajaxPrefilter( function(options, originalOptions, jqXHR) { if ( applicationCache && applicationCache.status != applicationCache.UNCACHED && applicationCache.status != applicationCache.OBSOLETE ) { // the important bit options.isLocal = true; } }); If you want to see the entire information about the topic, go to jQuery Conference section at DaVinci Forum site.

Current browsers vary, and each different version of them has a different compatibility with CSS3. Table below depicts the whole series of compatible browsers with CSS3.

There are many web app development tools are available out there, such as Sencha Architect 2 and Davinci Studio(jQuery based), etc. They say that their tool provides great functionalities and n-screen support, so that developers can reduce the development cost. it seems promising. Currently, profitable applications in the market are games; however, HTML5 based web applications' performance is not as good as native games. So, here is the trade off. Using HTML5 web app development tool cut down the cost, but applications generated by the tool are not that profitable like low performing game applications. What do you think of this dilemma? Would you still consider using HTML5 development tool? or wait for later?

I have attended jQuery Conference Asia 2012. Corey Frang, the person in charge of animation development, mentioned about Prefixing CSS3. CSS3 prefixing like below is a burdon for designers, so jQuery is adding a NEW functionality of automatic prefixing CSS3 into jQuery Core Library. When this is done, it is going to be very useful for us. .box_gradient { background-color: #444444; background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#444444), to(#999999)); /* Safari 4+, Chrome */ background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #444444, #999999); /* Chrome 10+, Safari 5.1+, iOS 5+ */ background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #444444, #999999); /* Firefox 3.6-15 */ background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #444444, #999999); /* Opera 11.10-12.00 */ background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #444444, #999999); /* Firefox 16+, IE10, Opera 12.50+ */ }

I have attended “jQuery Conference Asia”. 400 Asian web developers, designers, and publishers attended the first ever jQuery conference held in Asia. Seven jQuery Foundation board members along with three professionals from Samsung and Incross spoke at the conference, providing attendees with the latest jQuery and HTML5 developments and trends. According to the jQuery Mobile team, South Korea is the most popular country for jQuery Mobile development in the world. Corey Frang in charge of jQuery Animation development has presented Core and jQuery UI effects of jQuery animation components. He specifically described codes and explained them on each topic. “Queues, Animate, Easing, Shortcuts, Timers” for Core and “Animate Classed, Widget Effects, jQuery Color, etc.” for jQuery UI effects. DaVinci Team presented how to develop web app. using HTML5 authoring tool and methodology as well. Those techniques that Corey presented helped me a lot with my animation and web design.

I will like to inform you that the jQuery Foundation will hold its very first conference in Asia on Nov. 12, 2012. According to the jQuery Mobile team, South Korea is the most popular country for jQuery Mobile development in the world and has decided for Seoul to be the lucky city to host this event. Six jQuery board members will attend to present the latest jQuery developments as well as other web app related topics. Find the agenda for the conference below. As noted in the program, “DaVinci Studio” will be used to demonstrate HTML5 dev tips, as it is a new, state of the art dev tool perfect to create web app and rich media content. DaVinci has a structure based on jQuery and also completely supports HTML5 & CSS3 standards, which is why the DaVinci Dev Team has been chosen to host the very first jQuery Conference Asia.
