Thanks for the confirming your talk. Hope you have recovered completely from your recent illness.
Yes, I did, thanks for asking. Turns out, hospital ceilings are not very interesting to look at.

This sounds perfect. However, I must admit, I haven't worked too much with jQuery. The popular frameworks I've got most experience with include Dojo, Prototype and Scriptaculous. Before the popularity of these frameworks, I've used my own home-grown frameworks.
Wow - would love to hear about your "home-grown" frameworks :-D - would love to also have a discussion with you about the frame-work wars;) - I used Prototype, Scriptaculous and mootools a bit (but not much) before getting completely hooked to jquery.. not a 100% sure how they stack up now - I have just gotten used to jquery .. I'm very interested in digging into Dojo though - anyways, perhaps I can pick your brain a bit when I see you :-)
Sanjay B: Would be great if you can take up jQuery, since so many people seem interested.
Since people have mentioned an interest in jquery - I can do a quick demo - again, I could go on for hours;) - but I think a basic intro into the selector syntax, basic animations, one ajax example should not take much time .. I can probably keep it down to 15 minutes, if that seems okay? I can be flexible though .
Hope you will be able to cover above in an hour? Or would like more time?
An hour might be cutting too close, especially if we factor in the jQuery stuff. Shall we try to make it 1.5 hours, if we have the time? That should be slightly more luxurious.
Hope this can fit into the LUG meeting, else I would still be interested in attending / helping organize(?) a more luxurious javascript session if there isn't time for it here and you're still up for doing it :-)
Looking forward and thanks a lot! Sanjay
