I’m teaching a jQuery class!
categories: front-end development, javascript, jquery
One of my goals this year was to get up in front of people and talk. To that end, I'm happy to announce that I'll be teaching a jQuery fundamentals class July 29-30 at Carrboro Creative Coworking in Carrboro, N.C.
In my work with jQuery beginners, I often find that the library is so easy to learn that it's possible to skip over the fundamentals of JavaScript. With that in mind, we'll start the class with a high-level overview of key JavaScript principles, including concepts like logic, objects, variable scope, and closures. From there, we'll move on to a thorough overview of the jQuery library -- selecting, traversing, manipulating, effects, events, XHR (Ajax), and plugins. Throughout the class, we'll focus on best practices for writing and organizing jQuery code for easy reuse and refactoring. Participants will leave the class as upstanding members of the jQuery community, armed with a solid understanding of the concepts of both JavaScript and jQuery, and ready to start leveraging the library in their projects.
If you have any questions about the class, drop me an email at rebecca@rebeccamurphey.com, and I hope to see you there!
