I've been reading up on JavaScript and jQuery in Drupal in preparation for my upcoming Google Summer of Code project, so I thought I'd check out the JavaScript presentations at DCSF, starting with this one.

This is a simple introduction to attaching a simple JS file through the theme layer and using jQuery to mess around with things, going into jQuery UI at the end. Bevan also shows some good debug techniques in Firebug.

Here are some Drupal specific highlights for the readers.

Through the Lullabot podcasts, Jeff Eaton (and the other Lullabots) gave me my introduction to Drupal. I'm not sure how he packs his Drupal chatter with so much information and hilarity all at the same time, but the combination is definitely one of the things that got me hooked on Drupal.

So reading quotes from this presentation as they popped up on Twitter is one of the things that made me most angry at the ash cloud. But it is now up online (!) thanks to the amazing DCSF organizers (double !).

Here are my notes. I've removed most of the funny (and got tired at the end), so you should really watch the real thing.
