I just finished my first talk at TechDays Sweden 2011 on jQuery. As promised, you can find the slides and demos here.

I hope you enjoyed the session (sadly not everyone could get in the room) although it was extremely hot in the room. If you have any comments/questions, please send them to me.

On January 24th, the first Belgian Web Camp takes place. Some updates have been done to the agenda, including another speaker being added.

This is the final agenda:

8:30 - 9:00 Welcome and registration

9:00 - 11:00 Opening Keynote – What’s new in the Microsoft Web Platform (Scott Hanselman, Principle Program Manager, Microsoft)
Just recently, Microsoft have released a bunch of new products that web developers can use to build websites and web applications.  Scott, Drew and Jonathan will take you on a whirlwind tour of what’s new in the Microsoft Web Platform, including ASP.NET MVC 3, NuGet and more.

11:00 - 11:30 Coffee Break

11:30 - 12:30 HTML5: How about today? (Katrien De Graeve, Developer Evangelist, Microsoft)
What is HTML5? With more and more browsers supporting HTML5, ECMAScript 5 and other web standards, developers now have a strong web platform they can use to create a new class of web application that is more powerful and interactive than ever before.  What's in HTML5 that lets us take our sites to the next level?
Expect demos and code!

12:30 - 13:30 Lunch

13:30 - 14:45 Come in as jQuery zero, go out as jQuery hero (Gill Cleeren)
jQuery is the web developers’ new favorite. This lightweight JavaScript library has developers writing JavaScript code again, and loving it! What previously needed 20 lines of code can now be done in just 3 lines. Who wouldn’t be enthusiastic? Microsoft showed its love for the library by fully integrating it in Visual Studio. I dare to ask: should you stay behind? In this session, we’ll take a look at jQuery and we’ll teach you what you need to know to get you on your way. More specifically, we’ll look at selectors, attributes, working with WCF, jQuery UI, and much more. You could easily walk out of this session wearing a sticker: “I love jQuery”!

14:45 - 15:15 Coffee Break

15:15 - 16:30 OData: Open Data for the Open Web (Jonathan Carter, Senior Technical Evangelist, Microsoft)
There is no shortage of valuable data being generated by applications, reports, tools, Web sites, etc. Unfortunately, this leaves many of us wishing we could programmatically access the data and logic behind an app, report, or Web site. To break down data silos and increase the shared value of data and its associated business logic through the Web, Microsoft has recently announced the Open Data Protocol which enables exposing any data source as a Web-friendly data feed. Join this session to understand what the Open Data Protocol (OData) is and how it adds end-user and developer value to many of Microsoft's leading products and services (such as SharePoint Server 2010, Microsoft Codename "Dallas", Windows Azure, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel, Visual Studio, .NET, Silverlight, AJAX, etc.), as well as being accessible from a range of platforms such as Java and PHP. "

16:30 - 17:30 Closing drink

Yesterday, I gave my talk on ASP.NET 3.5 - AJAX - LINQ - Silverlight for Visug. Here is the slide deck of that talk:

Last week, Microsoft updated the Ajax Control Toolkit for use with Visual Studio 2008 and .net 3.5. As usual, the project is posted on CodePlex here.
