An Interview with David Kaneda

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 | By: Justin Kozuch

Earlier this week, we had a chance to speak with David Kaneda, developer of the recently released jQTouch, a jQuery plugin for mobile web development on the iPhone, Android, Palm Pre, and other forward-thinking devices.

Refresh Events: Hi David, thanks for sitting down with us. Tell us a bit more about jQTouch; what does it do and who’s it for.

David Kaneda: Hi Justin, thanks for having me. jQTouch is a jQuery plugin for mobile web development.

10 jQuery Plugins Every Developer Can’t Live Without

Monday, March 16th, 2009 | By: Justin Kozuch

jQuery is one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks in use today; since it’s release over 3 years ago, it has grown from a small following of die-hards to one that is being used by the likes of Google, NASA and Bank of America.

The strength of jQuery lies not within its popularity (although one could say that it is as successful as it because of the sheer number of advocates it has), but because of its extensibility and the number of plugins that are available to designers and developers.

With that said, our first edition of Stay Fresh will cover jQuery. The latest version of this popular JavaScript framework is 1.3, which was just released on January 14th 2009.
