Introduction
After a long time away, the ABAP Freak Show returns to SDN. Now we high resolution video - as well as alternative downloads for lower bandwidth and mobile devices. I had asked Craig Cmehil for a suggestion of a video hosting site that would allow for all of these features. He suggested blip.tv. Shortly after I got the recomendation, I also noticed that Michael Cote of Redmonk was using blip.tv with very nice results for his excellent RIA Weekly podcasts. Let me know how the quality and options work out for everyone.
In this return video we explore the open source library jQuery - which simpliifies JavaScript and AJAX coding. It turns out this is a perfect fit for BSP and we demo its use in a nice AJAX enabled input autocompleter. This research was a long time coming as Dan McWeeney had mentioned jQuery to me almost a year ago. I've been wanting to try it out ever since then. After playing with jQuery for only a short time, I'm already wish I had tried it out sooner.
