Introduction to jQuery: Painless JavaScript

This session will introduce the jQuery library, included with Drupal 5 and above. The session will assume little to no knowledge of JavaScript, though some basic knowledge of general programming concepts and PHP will be an asset. By the end of the session, you should feel comfortable using jQuery to do things like:

• Hide and show elements on a page (even those from contributed modules or core).
• Use animation to draw attention to specific components of your page, or to indicate when something has changed.
• Improve the usability of forms on your website.
• Use jQuery UI to add widgets, effects, and drag-and-drop to your elements.
• Not break your site for those without JavaScript!
