jQuery.dashboard() in CiviCRM 3.1

In January 2009 I wrote and released jQuery.dashboard() plugin, which extends jQuery to quickly and easily create dashboard UIs like iGoogle. A handful of people have using it for a while, but in December 2009, it was announced that CiviCRM 3.1 would include a dashboard feature utilising jQuery.dashboard() plugin! CiviCRM 3.1 was released late January 2010. (So this blog post is a little late!)

It also provides some basic guidelines as a starting point for tpl.php standards, should that be pursued.

jQuery for Designers and Themers is a fun interactive session at DrupalCon San francisco on getting started with jQuery.

The session is early on Tuesday 20 April in room 307 (Commerce guys) at DrupalCon SF at 8:30am.
