Free entry. A voluntary donation is encouraged (£2 to £5) – this goes towards the venue.
Please add yourself to the event on Upcoming, so we have an idea of numbers.
Following on from the fantastic opening session of Async last week, round two will be a “JavaScript Show n’ Tell“.
Have you got a little JavaScript discovery to share? Or a pet project, or an interesting app that you’ve seen and want to tell us about? Come and share it with all the people…
Each slot will be just 5 minutes (+ 2 mins for questions).
Please let us know in the comments below if there’s something you’d like to share, or if you have any questions.
[Update]: The demos
From the comments on this post…
(BTW – there’s still time if you’d like to give a demo at the event)
- John Montgomery: JavaScript iPhone apps that use localStorage, demoed with his TODO list app.
- Craig Moore: a mystery jQuery widget to get feedback on
- Paulo Fierro: JavaScript for Flash devs, plus a little personal project
- David Lockie: bridging JavaScript and ActionScript, and using APIs with jQuery’s Ajax toolkit
- Mark Perkins: creating jQuery plugins, with custom events
- Premasagar Rose: Client-side templating with JavaScript, to keep HTML markup in one place
Is there really only 1 person so far? that’s a real shame.
I’m going to give a little demo, probably on AppleOfMyIframe (github.com/premasagar/appleofmyiframe) which is a jQuery plugin I wrote to sandbox 3rd party content (e.g. widgets) inside a host web page. It does this by creating iframe documents on-the-fly from JavaScript, and giving you a whole new little document within a document to play with.
I’ve been playing around with Javascript and local storage/local db stuff for writing iPhone apps. Happy to demo them.
Got a simple TODO list app:

and something else I’m working on right now.
I’ll definitely come along, it’s always interesting hearing how people use JaveScript in the most creative ways. If only I could think of something to talk about.
Thinking again, if it’s a bit more interesting or useful, I could instead give a simple, practical example of using client-side templating. I recently used John Resig’s micro-templating script on a project, and it was a really elegant solution to the problem we had.
Hi guys, have a little jquery widget I have been working on, wouldn’t mind showing it off an getting some feedback – planning on making it open source :)
Craig
@John, @Craig – those sound great. I look forward to hearing about them.
@Malcolm – did you have any ideas? It really doesn’t need to be something so rare and incredible. Just something that interested you – perhaps a little technique that you read about and used, or an interesting little script that you’ve seen, or a website you came across that does something different.
I was thinking of either showing how JS can help out Flash devs or a personal thing I’ve been working on, depending on how much time I get to polish before tomorrow :)
Hi – if there’s a slot available, I have a little JS project that I completed recently that involves: interaction with ActionScript, getting XML from an API using jQuery’s ajax toolkit, modifying the DOM and some of the technical issues I faced.
@Paulo, @David – fantastic!
Hi guys – I’d be up for talking a little about creating flexible jQuery plugins using custom events as their primary method of interaction if people would be interested in that? I’ve got a couple of examples in the plugins that I have released that would help illustrate the pattern.
@Mark – that would be perfect.
I wish I could have made it.
