Four ways to do Pub/Sub with jQuery 1.7 and jQuery UI (in the future)

#Four Ways To Do Pub/Sub With jQuery and jQuery UI (in the future)

Between jQuery 1.7 and some of work going into future versions of jQuery UI, there are a ton of hot new ways for you to get your publish/subscribe on. Here are just four of them, three of which are new.

(PS: If you're unfamiliar with pub/sub, read the guide to it that Julian Aubourg and I wrote here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptjunkie/hh201955.aspx)

##Option 1: Using jQuery 1.7's $.Callbacks() feature:

$.Callbacks are a multi-purpose callbacks list object which can be used as a base layer to build new functionality including simple publish/subscribe systems. We haven't yet released the API documentation for this feature just yet, but for more information on it (including lots of examples), see my post on $.Callbacks() here:

Extensions for Backbone.
// TODO:
// - TemplateView
// - change the way templates are compiled (store compiled version inside view "class"?)
//
// - CollectionView
// - cleanup layout rendering if it depends on collection (remove collection container from DOM, rerender the layout and attach it again?)
// - store model views together with models (?)
//
// - ModelView
// - extend Model#toJSON to convert nested objects as well (http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/concert/commit/got-requests-displaying-properly-again/)
