jQuery, a powerful JavaScript library, is fast becoming a standard inclusion in the professional web developer's arsenal. It allows us to create engaging, rich content for websites and applications in a fraction of the time required with traditional JavaScript. Additionally, a vast collection of jQuery plugins is freely available to make your JavaScript life even easier. In this QuickStart! course, author Rick Martin takes you through an introduction to jQuery that includes powerful element selection methods, debugging, manipulating and adding elements at runtime, and event handling. Rick then shows some examples of animating elements and finishes with a discussion of some of the many available jQuery plugins. To begin learning today, simply click on the movie links below.
