Welcome

- Hi, I'm Joe Marini, and welcome to jQuery Essential Training. In this course, I'm going to introduce you to jQuery, one of the most popular and widely used JavaScipt libraries on the web today. jQuery makes all kinds of common scenarios in website and application development a lot easier. It provides a standardized, simplified way of extracting, manipulating, and creating webpage content, and makes operations, like retrieving data via AJAX, incredibly simple. We'll start by seeing how to use jQuery to extract information from webpages, using the rules of CSS that you probably already know.

Next, we'll see how to manipulate that information and create new content in order to build fully dynamic webpages and apps. Then, we'll examine how to use jQuery's built-in effects and animations to give your pages a polished look. Finally, we'll see how to access remote data over the internet using AJAX. Throughout the course, I'll have several challenges and solutions that show you how to apply jQuery to common scenarios in real-life website. It's time to take your web development skills to the next level with jQuery.

So let's get started.
