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:

/**
* A slightly saner interface for JangoMail Sync than the one they supply
*
* This is a demonstration of how to produce a more security-aware interface for JangoMail's
* web database synchronisation system. It is not guaranteed in any way and is not meant
* to be seen as an example of best practice on any level. It does, however, demonstrate how
* the flaws in that system can be worked around to build a reasonable JSON-based interface
* when working with recent versions of PHP.
