ABSTRACT
jQuery is a JavaScript library that stands out among its competitors
because it is faster, focuses on writing less code, and is very
extensible. In this talk, I will explore jQuery and how to use it. I
will start off talking about the basics of using jQuery. Then, I will
talk about building plugins. Finally, time permitting, I will take
apart some plugins and talk about how they work, and I will show the
nitty gritty details of the library.
Speaker: Dmitri Gaskin
Dmitri Gaskin drinks code with his cereal for breakfast every
morning. He's a jQuery whiz and a Drupal know-it-all. He
contributes patches for both Open Source projects. In the Drupal
world, he maintains many modules, is on the security team, and is
involved in the upcoming Summer of Code as a mentor and
administrator. Dmitri has given many talks on Drupal and jQuery, in
such places as Logitech, Drupalcon and live on a radio show out of
L.A. When Dmitri isn't coding, a very rare occurrence, he is playing
and composing contemporary music. And attending classes in the 6th
grade. (He's only 12.)

I'm 24 years old, and im involved in software engineering, i wish i had a PC as kid too, but only at 17 :|
He generally thinks at too low a level, probably because much of the field of computing is still covered by shroud in his mind.. lots of unknowns.. so much to discover. In his head he's got islands of specific lower-level technical knowledge but not enough to be able to join them up, develop abstractions & adopt a high-level overview of computing.
and similar one on linux or windows that i can use?
Creativity is definitely important, though Dimitri seems to be very thorough and non-condescending, unlike an Asperger's / traditional genius, which is important too.
