jQuery Training

jQuery is one of the most popular JavaScript library in use today. With strong industry support from major players, such as Google, Dell, Wordpress and Mozilla, jQuery has become the de facto standard for many web developers. In fact, many companies request that potential employees have some experience with jQuery under their belt. jQuery serves many roles in web development today. It mitigates browser incompatibilities by providing consistent and sensible interfaces for complex actions (such as Ajax), and allows developers to add a visual spark to their sites with ease. jQuery's tagline is "Write less, do more," and in this two-day class, you will learn to do just that.
