jQuery ~ For the Love of Dollar

We will nominally cover in order the material in the first eight chapters of the Rebecca Murphey's ebook "jQuery Fundamentals" and the bulk of the material in Ben Nadel's video series "An Intensive Exploration of jQuery." There may be a few instances where the syllabus materials are slightly out of sync with each other and the actual material discussed but the intent is to cover the first eight chapter of the ebook and the majority of the material in the video series.
