Small non-intrusive animations and interactions can greatly enhance the user experience and impress website visitors and clients. jQuery and jQuery UI make it easy to add these enhancements with only very basic programming skills. Learn how!
It is expected that attendees have an understanding of CSS selectors and how HTML elements are nested within each other to build a "tree" (aka "DOM"). This should make sense to you:
#page #content > p a.read_more {}
Some understanding of basic programming concepts will be necessary to take full advantage of the session. I.e.
// Declare a function called "calculateCircleArea",
// which accepts a parameter "radius".
function calculateCircleArea(radius) {
// Declare a variable called "area".
var area;
// The area variable is now NULL.
// Now assign a value to area.
// area becomes 2 times pi times radius.
area = 2 * 3.142 * radius;
// The area variable is now 2πr ("two-pi-R").
// Functions usually return something.
return area;
}
