Two years in the making, it’s the PeepCode screencast on jQuery, the popular Javascript framework for developing web applications.
jQuery stormed out of the gate and quickly won the hearts of developers. Its design and implementation make it easy for you to accomplish basic tasks. Extendability is built in with its plugin architecture (you’ll write one in this screencast). You can organize code around native Javascript objects (you’ll do that, too!).
Researching and producing this screencast converted the author from a jQuery skeptic to a believer. If you want to understand the fundamentals in an easy, fun way with the high production values, motion graphics, and straight-to-the-point depth of PeepCode, this is the screencast for you!
In addition, you’ll learn about the Pomodoro time managment technique by building a simple time-tracking application.
Topics covered in this tutorial include:
jQuery Core Concepts
Browser Tools
Brief Javascript Primer
The Mighty Dollar Function
Selectors
Implementing a Pomodoro Task Management Application
Design and Write a Plugin
Event Handling and live()
Using extend()
Understanding the this keyword

Testimonials
“Ok. I’m sold on jQuery. Was impressed when I used it briefly for a small project – the @peepcode screencast is pushing me over the edge…”
Stephen Bartholomew
“The latest @peepcode on jQuery is very well done. You’ll learn something even if you know your way around jQuery.”
PierreOlivier Martel
“I consider myself a pretty advanced Javascript programmer, having done it for over 10 years, using prototype for the last 3, but I always found jQuery a bit hard to dive into. However, your screencast really makes it super easy to understand. I also like how you skipped over HTML and CSS, no wasted time on setting up your project or explaining basics. There’s a lot of meat in this one!”
Jeremy Seitz
“I recommend Meet jQuery from @peepcode. I had (very) basic jQuery skills, and it has taken me to the next level. Thanks @peepcode!”
Joel Monegro
“Actually enjoying this jQuery stuff I’m working on. The jQuery @peepcode was really helpful in getting comfortable.”
