You ’ve heard of jQuery, you know it ’s supposed to help you make beautiful things, but you don ’t do JavaScript and you don ’t know how all the pieces fit together to create your beautiful thing. This workshop will ease you in to adding jQuery to your projects. It will cover what jQuery has to offer and how you can make best use of it in your projects. You ’ll be learning jQuery from a practical point of view and you will quickly understand what you can use right out of the box, to quickly add effects and interactions to your wireframes, prototypes and web sites. The aim isn ’t to teach you JavaScript, but instead to teach you what you need to know to leverage jQuery to make the best work that you can for the web.
What you will learn
- How to impress your clients without writing any code
- jQuery – how to bend the DOM to your will
- Effect and animations – make things that go whizz bang
- How to recognise jQuery design patterns
- How almost everything is a tabbing system
- Ajax – it’s even simpler than you think
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is for front-end visual designers and developers who are familiar with HTML and CSS. If you have flirted with jQuery or JavaScript in the past, this will be an advantage, but is not a necessity.
