This class is geared for web designers to help and learn how to use jQuery to enhance existing web pages as well as web developers to teach them how to use a very popular and powerful JavaScript library.
If you’ve spent any time at all trying to add dynamic functionality to your pages, you’ve found that you’re constantly following a pattern of selecting an element or group of elements and operating upon those elements in some fashion. You could be hiding or revealing the elements, adding a CSS class to them, animating them, or modifying their attributes.
Using raw JavaScript can result in dozens of lines of code for each of these tasks. The creators of jQuery specifically created the library to make common tasks trivial.
The class will be teaching not only how to use the many functions and properties of API, but practical examples you can use right away.
The class is only $25 and there are no other materials or software needed to purchase.
Topics covered:
Week 1: Getting Started with jQuery
Week 2: Selecting, Decorating and Enhancing
Week 3: Manipulating Content
Week 4: Animation Effects
Week 5: jQuery UI & Forms

Great class. Frank is very helpful and I learned a lot
Frank was very supportive, and offered a ton of info packed into 5 lessons. He made me think and thats great. Thanks for a good interaction.
Hope that intermediate jquery will follow and Im glad I took this class
for Im gonna put the new knowledge into practice.
I have taken other classes by Frank and have always been happy.
Frank is patient and encouraging -class notes are comprehensive and the class is well taught. I can see the new world of jquery opening up before me and I am looking forward to using it.
This class gave me the fundamentals of jQuery that I needed for my work. The curriculum was clear and the class moved at a good pace. Frank was very responsive and willing to help when needed. If an Intermediate jQuery class is offered, I will definitely sign up for it!”
This is a great intro to jQuery, takes you through things step by step with lots of great examples. Well worth the money.
Thanks Anita.
I enjoyed this intro to jQuery quite a lot.
In 6 weeks Frank took us from the most basic ‘how’ all the way to practical examples of use in a ‘real’ web site.
It was a good introduction.

Great entry level course with a solid introduction to jQuery. Frank was always quick to reply to any questions, and provided relevant assignments and examples. I’m looking forward to the 2nd class covering AJAX and PHP!
Thanks Clinton
This is a great course for anyone wanting an introduction to jQuery. The pace was right and at a reasonable cost. There was a lot of good interaction between students and the instructor.

Thanks George.
I will probably create a 2nd jQuery class sometime in the future focusing on Ajax and PHP.
Stay tuned…
