NY Web Standards Meetup—Introduction to Kicking Ass with jQuery

27 October 2008 | Posted by Jeffrey Barke | No comments

The New York Web Standards Meetup Group will meet this Thursday (30 October 2008) at theMechanism at 7:00 pm.

Scott Trudeau (Apartment Therapy Media) will provide an introduction to the popular jQuery JavaScript library. If you have strong HTML/CSS skills, but your JavaScript experience has never gone much beyond "cut and paste," come learn how to use jQuery and jQuery plugins to create enhanced, dynamic user experiences for your sites.

Scott will provide an overview of using jQuery's DOM manipulation, animation and Ajax components.
