Announcing jQuery Fundamentals, a two-day class at Carrboro Creative Coworking in Carrboro, NC (July 29-30) that will give you the knowledge you need to properly and effectively start integrating jQuery, the popular JavaScript library, into your web development projects. Over the course of two days, you’ll learn the fundamental concepts of JavaScript and jQuery and tackle real-world exercises to solidify your understanding of the language and the library.
http://www.carrborocoworking.com/content/jquery-fundamentals jQuery is so easy to learn that it’s possible to skip over the fundamentals of JavaScript. With that in mind, we’ll start the class with a high-level overview of key JavaScript principles, including concepts like logic, objects, variable scope, and closures. From there, we’ll move on to a thorough overview of the jQuery library— selecting, traversing, manipulating, effects, events, XHR (Ajax), and plugins. Throughout the class, we’ll focus on best practices for writing and organizing jQuery code for easy reuse and refactoring. Participants will leave the class as upstanding members of the jQuery community, armed with a solid understanding of the concepts of both JavaScript and jQuery, and ready to start leveraging the library in their projects. This class is aimed at beginning jQuery users, although intermediate users may also benefit from the more formalized introduction to the library this class will offer. If you have any questions about the class, drop me an email at rebe...@rebeccamurphey.com, and I hope to see you there!
