My company tries to facilitate learning among its employees throughout the year. One way they do this is by hosting Lunch & Learn sessions where a developer makes a presentation on a software development topic and lunch is provided by the company.

We had 15 talks last year. After each one, all of the attendees were asked to fill out an evaluation of the presentation. The points were tallied and my presentation, “Fundamentals of jQuery and the jQuery Event Model,” received the highest score for 2009.

I can’t take all of the credit, though. jQuery is pretty awesome in its own right.
