Introduction

jQuery is an amazing Javascript library that makes it easy to create wonderful and astonishing web effect in just a few lines of code. I used to hate javascript a lot because of its long syntax and they are hard to remember. And then I discovered jQuery last year and it got my attention because of its simplicity. It changes the way we code javascript and makes everything so simple to achieve. For example, those fading, sliding animation, one would spent hours to write a function for that, but with jQuery, you just have to call the method! It saves times, cross browsers support, and its robustness simply blow me away.

I have tasted the sweetness of jQuery, so I started this webblog so that I would be able to share what I have been learnt about jQuery.

    I have been getting familiar with jQuery recently and the more I get into it, the more I’m impressed with it.

But do you feel that you just can’t seem to learn the dang thing? Do you hate how the existing tutorials assume that you know WAY more than you actually do? If this rings true for you, I can help.
