JQuery - Main Page

The following are a collection of JQuery toycode for a number of different things I need to do in the apps I develop. For me good toycode can be the building blocks for inspiration and innvovation. "Hello World" on steroids.

JQuery is a library created by John Resig. I have been using it for about a year now. For most of that time I have been able to use third party controls in my applications without really having a clue as to the underlying technical implementation. Now that is what I call true encapsulation!

It has not been until the past few weeks (written Jan 11th, 2011) that I realized I needed to better understand this library so I could create some of my own controls and functionality that I could not find.

The way JQuery hooks into css, and how it deals with the DOM makes it one of the coolest pieces of software I have seen in years. It makes build RIA a real pleasure.

If you can marry this library with the good aspects of Javascript you can build apps and functionality that are off the hook.

I will add to these over time as my time permits.

I find JQuery in Action to be an indespensible book for your collection. If you would like a new version of the book click below to buy it from Amazon (also one of my affiliates).
