Welcome to my jQuery class!

Please download the .pdf course material and the sample files for the labs. Solutions from the last class are here.

You might want to bookmark the jQuery API reference as we'll refer to it frequently in class.

If you have experience debugging Javascript in the browser feel free to use the tools you are comfortable with. If not, I recommend using Firefox with the Firebug plugin enabled.

Other resources mentioned in class:

jsfiddle - a great javascript sandbox/testing tool
Everything by Douglas Crockford on JS is good. I especially like Javascript - the good parts which is also available as a book.
I like and frequently use Mozilla's Javascript material
If you need a dead-tree Javascript reference the "Rhino Book" is probably the best.
I've used the jqueryify bookmarklet to add jquery to pages in order to practice or extract info

See the additional ajax lab and color/plugin lab. Also download the class curriculum as instructor slides.

Be sure to keep an eye out for more great Javascript-related classes from Marakana! We've got more great jQuery classes as well as advanced Javascript and NodeJS classes. See you in the classroom soon!
