Jamie Wright: Introduction to jQuery

jQuery is a javascript framework that is designed to make cross-browser DOM programming easier and make developing with javascript suck less.

In this presentation, we will go over the basics of jQuery which will allow you to go home and get started right away. We will cover concepts such as DOM manipulation, CSS manipulation, ajax requests, and user interface effects. jQuery makes performing these tasks trivial and allows you to add ajax calls and Flash-like effects to your web site easily.
