What is a good place to start playing with jQuery, besides the jQuery website. I'm having trouble with the way the site is set up - I dislike it.
Thanks. Good answer.

@Moshe, haha. Well, I couldn't say it was worth $15 if I paid nothing, so I added the disclaimer :) We will probably run a giveaway on http://fuelyourcoding.com when I post the review, so maybe you can try your luck then!

One of the best ways to learn it is go through the tutorials and actually write the code from scratch, don't just read them. Also look at some problems you want to solve using jQuery and try a few different approaches to solving them to find all the different ways it allows you to work. jQuery is very rich and there's more than one way to skin your site...I mean cat.

Interesting points. 1)I generally learn by writing code. There is a middle road to your suggestion though - modifying other people's code.2)Solving problems in multiple ways... I like to learn on the job, but if it aint broke, I aint gonna fix it. 3)jQuery is rich - but I don't quite get the rest of your remarks...Thanks for the answer!

Yet another site, dedicated to jQuery, I found very useful for me - visualjquery.com. One of the creators of this site is also author of the great book "jQuery in Action"(Yehuda Katz).
As for me, resource is well orginized and extremely handy.
