jQuery: Enhancing Web Development Class

Update April 2011
This class has been re-vamped, and includes the exact same materials from the class I teach at eClasses.org.


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

To give you an idea of how each lesson looks, here is the first lesson (.pdf).
