About This Video
Demonstrates the basics of how to get started using jQuery.
I show you how to:
* Download jQuery to use in your apps (or just the Google Ajax Libraries version)
* Browse the jQuery API via Visual jQuery
* Select elements on the page, eg. $('a')
* Do stuff with elements on the page, eg. $('a').css('color', 'blue')
* Method chaining, eg. $('a').css('color', 'blue').text('foo')
* Unobtrusive JavaScript (UJS) with jQuery, ie. event handling with jQuery
* Running stuff once the DOM is fully loaded, eg. $(document).ready(function(){ ... })
* Writing your own jQuery functions so you can say $('a').myCoolFunction()
I think I’ll do another screencast on Ajax with jQuery … but I hope this shows you the basics!
