Wow - one really does have to keep one's finger on the pulse with this jQuery business. Since Part One of this post there have been not one but three further releases of jQuery, so the current version is now 1.2.6. And I am happy to report that since then I have gotten involved in the effort to bring the jQuery Update module up to date, which entails not only trying to keep up with this moving target but also ironing out the bugs that have been popping up in all sorts of unexpected places due to the major API changes that came with version 1.2.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of presenting a talk on jQuery in Drupal at Drupal Camp Vancouver and I felt it would be worthwhile to follow it up with a blog post where I could re-iterate and elaborate on some of the most important points, as I feel this is an area where there's a lot of confusion in the Drupal world.

You may not know much about Katherine Bailey, Raincity Studios' resident Dubliner and noted motorcycle enthusiast, since I believe she is the only staffer yet to post on the blog (though I am sure she's working on something lovely ;-)).

She's multi-lingual, a classical cellist violist {Editor note: with apologies for my error}, a charming conversationalist and she knows the secrets of JQuery.

Tonight is your chance to meet the talented Ms. Bailey and listen intently as she extols on learning JavaScript the Smart Way.
