22nd March – Unobtrusive JavaScript and Mystery Ruby
This month we have Dave Verwer talking about how to tame JavaScript into behaving in your Rails applications with “Unobtrusive JavaScript with Rails” and Paul Robinson doing a “Mystery Ruby” session.
Unobtrusive JavaScript with Dave Verwer
With every site you visit piling on more and more JavaScript and Ajax, what happens when a user comes along using a screen reader or mobile device that would choke on even a simple alert()? How can we take advantage of the power of these technologies without providing any barriers to users, this session will cover techniques to ensure that you can still serve up rich content without excluding users, all from one code base and will cover the Unobtrusive JavaScript plug-in for Rails.
