Description:
THIS IS A TWO-EVENING CLASS (takes place on two nights, so as to allot enough time to cover all the material both nights are covered in the tuition)

Who says writing Rich Internet Applications or creating slick, friendly user interfaces is hard? Who says you need Flash for any kind of animation or cool effects? With jQuery all this and more becomes incredibly simple, and in this class you'll gain a fundamental understanding of how jQuery works, and how to write elegant client-side code with it.

This workshop will cover:

• JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)
• How best to load jQuery and where to load it from
• Foundational jQuery usage
• Selecting specific element(s)
• Manipulating the DOM
• Using jQuery to modifying CSS
• Event handling
• Effects such as sliding and fading
• Asynchronous Requests (AJAX)
