jQuery 


jQuery is fast becoming a must-have skill for front-end developers. This hands-on class provides an overview of the jQuery JavaScript library; when you're done, you should be able to complete basic tasks using jQuery, and have a solid basis from which to continue your learning.

In this hands-on class, we will spend a bit of time covering a concept, and then you'll have the chance to work on an exercise related to the concept. Some of the exercises may seem trivial; others may be downright daunting. In either case, there is no grade; the goal is simply to get you comfortable working your way through problems you'll commonly be called upon to solve using jQuery. Example solutions to all of the exercises are included in the sample code.
