A beginners course on jQuery, with a look at AJAX and plugin development.

Summary

This course has been recreated at the new P2PU site

 

You will be able to follow this group.

 

http://new.p2pu.org/en/groups/jquery-the-fundamentals/


jQuery is fast becoming a must-have skill for front-end developers and for those who have decided to learn the language but have found the jargon to confusing....then this course is for you. The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of the jQuery library and to explain the fundamentals in an easy and understandable way possible. And to offer real world projects to get your teeth stuck into.

When you're done with the course, you should be able to complete basic tasks using jQuery, and have a solid basis from which to continue your learning.The best way to learn is by doing, so this course will be very much hands on.

We are going to be following along with Rebecca Murphy's jQuery Fundamentals online book and using the offline learning kit supplied by Addy Osmani. And in edition i will be using my own tutorials and towards the end of the course we will be visiting some of my favourite tutorials, which will be fun and should snap everything into place. I will say that even though i know jQuery, i am no way an expert so i will also be learning as we go.

Learning objectives

This course will cover:

1. What is jQuery and why should you use it.
2. What is the DOM exactly.
3. Events
4. Effects
5. Ajax
6. Plugins(How to create one)
7. Performance and best practices
8. Debugging

This would be my first course here and I am confused by the following:

"Complete Part 1: Javascript 101 and explain to me in your own words what variable scope is?"

I do not see any exercises to complete but I read Part 1 and included some sentances regarding my understanding of variable scope when I first tried to apply for the course. Is this what I was supposed to do?

Hi all, the course is not set
