yayQuery

The dog days of summer are upon us, and the yayQuerians have returned from the shadows of the unknownternet to cool you down with your regularly erratically scheduled dose of frontend development developments. The teams's back at full strength (no offense, Ralph!!) to talk about PDFs getting a whole lot more P, the battle over lint spreading from the laundry room, and much more!

With Paul deep in the bowels of an evil deadline, team Yay enlists Ralph Holzmann to pinch hit, and unlike Mighty Casey, he belts one out of the park! We'll take you on a tour of your various options for keeping plates at a rollicking boil, JS-related spring travel, and using MEAT as a navigation tool. And toward the end, when Rebecca's video goes Black, we take the only logical alternative.

Ya wut? It's 2011. Time for yayQuery to take you back to front-end heaven. We got the bat, that's Julian Aubourg - he rewrote AJAX, sent the old way to the morgue. Yea we back, jQuery 1.5, new release with Deferreds is the dope jive. Want the skinny? Peep our latest episode - if you wanna keep them antipatterns out ya code!

Hey, what's good? We're the yayQuery podcast, it's our first birthday, and we're back to wrap you in the familiar embrace of jQuery news, conference haps, and T-Swift pics. Just like the Beatles, we just want to hold your hand and guide you through jQuery's new mobile framework, the 1.4.3 release, and brand new bug tracker. With some of your favourite segments, and a bit of practical kitchen advice, not watching yayQuery could be the scariest thing to befall you this Halloween!

JSConf is like, the biggest deal in conferences, and yayQuery is like, the biggest deal in podcasts, so it was only natural that the spectacular lunch on day one of JSConf 2010 was the yayQuery Lunch Spectacular. Relive the magic, relive the hijinks, and come on down to the world's only JavaScript gameshow that is also a drinking game!

Refreshed from relaxing, post-TXJS hiatus, the Yay Queries return with a trio of ultra-hot HTML5 sites, with varying levels of usefulness. We'll throw down the book on on jQuery (Fundamentals) and get in touch with jqTouch ExtJS Sencha! And when the team returns to dreamland with John Resig, who knows what you'll hear, and what will be drowned out by the drone of cheap plastic horns!?

Despite Alex's vivid account of his adventures in the world of RequireJS, Adam, exhausted from many late nights of dancing 'till dawn, takes a snooze right in the middle of a perfectly good episode of yayQuery. In his dream, a mysterious guest named John Resig reveals information about the future of jQuery and mobile browsers.

After back-to-back weekends on opposite ends of the country, the yayQueriers recount their adventures fulfilling Manifest Destiny. The team trekked from JSConf.US in D.C. to the Bay Area jQuery Conference in Mountain View on what was more a trail of beers than a trail of tears. With their wagons full of knowledge, they've decamped to share their provisions with you! So if you missed either one of these conferences, get your listenin' ears on! Plus: A special cameo by the Unicorn of Technical Difficulties.

Spring has arrived, and the air is thick with the smell of buzzwords. So if you've been begging for CSS3, consider your prayers answered. If you didn't think HTML5 Video was winnable until it was skinnable, rejoice! Templating more your thing? Shwing! Plus, jQuery's history will dance before your very eyes in a world premiere music video event that packs a healthy dose of 'corn! If I were you, I would have stopped reading this and clicked play a long time ago

Springtime is in the air, bringing with it the sweet aroma of renewal ... and conferences. Mere moments before departing Austin, your partners in Yay checked in on RealLifeSquare to bring you their exclusive SXSWi roundup -- but who knows what else they'll MiX in?!

Also get some coupon codes for some sweet discounts off some sweet conferences. Oh yeah. Jonathan Neal.

In this episode of yayQuery, the team introduces themselves. Paul Irish, Rebecca Murphey, Adam J. Sontag, and Alex Sexton each offer their insight on a variety of topics. Paul Irish continues his anti-pattern knowledge-giving that he started at jQuery Con '09 and then goes on to publicly show his support for the end of Thickbox's life. Mobile front-end development is discussed in some detail, however any information passed on is nullified by the dancing at the end of the video.
