June User Group:: An introduction to jQuery

jQuery is a concise open source JavaScript Library used for Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, event handling, Ajax requests, and animations. Whether you're new to JavaScript entirely or experienced with JavaScript but looking to shorten and simplify your code, jQuery is a framework you need to be familiar with. A real-time demo and hands-on walk-through will be done, include the writing of an animated Accordion widget and Ajax to-do list from scratch.

Please join John Resig, the creator and lead developer of the jQuery JavaScript library ,and BostonPHP as John introduces us to his library (examples written PHP) including discussion of several different PHP frameworks that use jQuery (Wordpress, Drupal, CakePHP).

BostonPHP works in conjunction with BostonPHP Meetup, usually meeting the first Wednesday of every month for structured presentation at a local university or business location, and then typically moves on to a nearby restaurant/bar/pub for more informal discussion .
