Jeffrey Way from Themeforest.net created a fantastic series on jQuery entitled “jQuery for Absolute Beginners”. In just fifteen days, you can go from a complete beginner to having a great grasp of the jQuery javascript framework, allowing you to incorporate javascript into all your projects.
I went through the series and created some notes for each day. Below is a list of each tutorial, along with links to Jeffrey’s screencasts. I use these notes as quick reminders on how to accomplish certain desired results. I keep them online so that I can access them anywhere if necessary and I hope others can make use of them as well!
