A talk by SkullSpace member Stefan Penner presented at Winnipeg Code Camp 2011 on February 26th.
JavaScript development is growing more and more important, and with industry giants such as Microsoft jumping on the jQuery bandwagon it's time to make the jump yourself. So what is jQuery, what can it do for you, and why should you use it? This talk will provide an introduction to JavaScript and a foundation for building dynamic, jQuery-powered websites. Topics include: DOM traversing, event handling, ninja hunting, animating, ajax interactions, and cross browser caveats. By the end the participants will have a well rounded foundation, enabling them to start building dynamic web sites.
