(a) all juvenile delinquency actions and proceedings commenced upon or after the effective date thereof and all appeals and other post-judgment proceedings relating or attaching thereto; and

(b) all matters of juvenile delinquency procedure prescribed in this article which do not constitute a part of any particular action or case, occurring upon or after such effective date.

2. The provisions of this article apply to:

(a) all juvenile delinquency actions and proceedings commenced prior to the effective date thereof but still pending on such date; and
