An Idiot's Guide to jQuery
Upcoming Event! August 4, 2010
JavaScript makes the web dynamic by allowing programmers to manipulate the way a web browser interprets the site being viewed. jQuery is by far the most popular JavaScript library out today.
Local web developer Mark Casias will explore the main features of jQuery and discuss some of it's advantages and features. He will also detail the jQuery UI portion to show how to easily create dynamic interfaces and forms. Also there are a lot of third-party plug-ins that greatly enhance the library, making your job as a programmer easy(ish).

In order to keep Webuquerque going, Jason and I need some help. You might be surprised how much time and energy it takes to do all the "little" things we do to support this community. And, unfortunately, it is starting to wear.
But we still love this community and still feel there is so much more potential. What we need are some folks to help us out, so of course we are turning to our Webuquerque community.

Our May presentation, Don't Let Success Bring Your Web Site Down was another great success and a testament to the talent in Albuquerque thanks to our presenters Chris Kenworthy and Mick Thompson. We had a "sold out" presentation, with 38 attendees who all walked away with a fundamental understanding of web hosting options.
