jQuery for Designers and Beginners

Course details

This is a perfect course for designers who know CSS and HTML to kick start their learning in jQuery. Also this will be the right course for beginners those who wish to learn jQuery.

jQuery UI is a widget and interaction library built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library that you can use to build highly interactive web applications. This course is designed to get you up to speed on how jQuery UI works.

The benefits of jQuery is that it handles a lot of infuriating cross-browser issues for you. While a lot of people might argue that we don't need to learn jQuery, there's still one big reason for doing so: Legacy code. If you're going to go to work at a company that already has JavaScript browser code, there's a strong possibility it has jQuery throughout its code. There's also a matter of preference: With jQuery, my code is tighter; individual lines of code are shorter. People still like jQuery and its elegance, and they're going to continue using it, even though they might not have to.
