So you’ve read up on our earlier Ajax tutorial or downloaded the Blarnee.com Ajax starter pack. Where do you go from here?. The answer to that question is jQuery.

jQuery is a widely used Javascript library that bridges the gap between Javascript and HTML. It exists as a single include file, so rather than worrying about how your queries interact with the server via Ajax, you can focus on how you’re going to present your data in the front-end.

jQuery’s capabilities stop just there!..at some point you may have seen new Web 2.0 websites using slide-down boxes, menu’s, controls or funky Javascript effects and thought “Hey..I wish I could do that.”. Well with jQuery, now you can and with minimal coding to boot. jQuery is flexible enough for both designers and coders to make their sites more interactive without all the stress of manually coding everything by hand.

I’m now going to hand you over to our friends at 15daysofjquery.com to continue the rest of this introduction on jQuery.
