HTML and CSS for jQuery

About this Presentation
My experience with my own team has shown me that back-end developers are often frustrated by their inability to integrate jQuery with the UI.
This talk, originally prepared for my co-workers, discusses how the DOM is queried by browsers' rendering engines and by jQuery, how jQuery manipulates the DOM, and how to optimize jQuery for DOM performance. Then, the discussion turns to how to understand what HTML structures are required to provide hooks for Javascript, and finally how to use CSS to add interface to the interaction.
