In this edition of the “Front End Field Guide” we are going to take a look at the new  HTML5 JavaScript selectors.  In the past we had only getElementById(), getElementByTag(), getElementByTagName() as selectors.  But now there are two brand new selectors available for you to use and they are querySelectorAll() and querySelector().

Technically the Selector API is not part of the HTML5 spec, but it seems to be lumped in with all the other features of HTML5. Because of this I will keep the misnomer going. So lets examine how we can take advantage of these new selectors with a few simple examples.

I have enjoyed my time at cfObjective() 2011 immensely.  The community is really awesome and I have met so many interesting and intelligent people.  There have been some really great sessions and I am very thankful for having the opportunity to not only present, but attend this conference.

There is a strong showing of folks from The Triangle in NC and people from all over the world as well.

Below are the downloads from my presentations, do as you will with them and don’t hesitate to provide feedback or ask questions.  I am always on twitter @adrianpomilio.

The Athletic Guide to Agile – 360Flex

I just got back from 360Flex in Denver, what an awesome time.  I highly recommend attending a 360Flex Conference.

My presentation was “The Athletic Guide to Agile.”  The premise of the presentation was to explain Agile using a metaphor.  The metaphor for this presentation was sports.  It had become obvious to me, over the years, that the explanation of Agile was becoming convoluted and confusing for some.  The problem I saw was people trying to relate Agile principles to Waterfall, something they already knew.  Agile and Waterfall don’t really relate. So I thought that maybe it was time to change that and try and relate Agile to something completely different than Waterfall.

I am still refining the athletic metaphor for introducing Agile, and I have a few other metaphors in the works as well.  Here is the presentation slide deck:

It is important to understand that this was a live presentation, and it covers many areas of Agile but not every aspect.  The areas that I cover are the parts that cause a bit of confusion.  I am always looking for feedback so please feel free to leave comments.
