  1. I love jQuery! I was introduced to it a year ago, and I have loved it ever since.

  2. I’m just waking up to the potential benefits jQuery has in my work, and I would love the opportunity to “attend” this summit and continue learning about it.

  3. Great lineup! Would love to hear Dave Rupert’s pres.

  4. JQuery is my go to for interactive web development, Thank you John Resig !

  5. Looks like a great summit! I am definitely interested in learning jQuery deeper. I’m only at a copy-paste kind of knowledge right now. I’d be interested in the designer track.

  6. This is going to be a great conference – I would love to learn more about the extensibility of jQuery!

  7. Looks like a hot lineup of topics – particularly excited about the Flexible design / Mobile Web App topics.

  8. In two years I have gone from very limited, cut and paste or plugin only use of jQuery to now I program custom scripts with it every day. I can’t imagine going back and it has helped me to make my projects highly interactive, extremely functional, an aesthetically rich. I know there are purists out there that dislike it, but I never would have been able to make the leap to JavaScript programming at all without it.

  9. The Joomla! design team implemented jQuery in no conflicts mode and since then hundreds of extensions have been developed that bring the goodness of jQuery animations. forms handling, and error reporting to thousands of Joomla powered websites. Every site I deploy has jQuery-powered tabs and slides, menu transitions, image popups or lightboxes and more. Always discovering new uses!

  10. Hi guys, Am I still in time to get a ticket? There never is enough about jQuery.

  11. jquery mixers rule!

  12. Congrats to Ashley Callahan who won the free pass to the jQuery Summit! I hope you enjoyed it and learned a ton!
