Introduction to jQuery
In its short history, jQuery has revolutionized front-end web development, making it faster, easier, and more rewarding to write JavaScript – allowing easier selection and manipulation of HTML elements, and ensuring that scripts work across the ever increasing landscape of browsers and operating systems. jQuery is now the most popular JavaScript library on the web, powering over 27% of the 10,000 most popular sites.
This video walks the viewer through the essential concepts and syntaxes needed start writing simple-yet-powerful JavaScript using jQuery. Nate Haug and Jeff Robbins show many hands-on examples demonstrating how to use jQuery’s simple syntax to choose and manipulate HTML elements, traverse the document object model (DOM), and to attach event handlers which can react to user interaction with the page. They also walk through how to construct an AJAX request to pull in data from external HTML, XML, or JSON sources as well as how to create a simple jQuery plug-in.
Learn how liberating and fun jQuery development can be. Give us 3 hours and we’ll get you excited to create clearer, easier-to-use, and more whiz-bangy websites.
