Where can I find a tutorial to get started learning jQuery?
What would be a good place to start with jquery ? I know javascript basics...I am really interested in learning jquery and saw a few basic tutorials online... But I wanted to know if anyone could suggest a good approach towards learning and some tutorials or videos where I can get better at jquery ?
I'd recommend Ben Nadel's Intensive jQuery video:
http://www.bennadel.com/resources/presentations/jquery/video/index.htm
After that, start trying yourself - that's the best way to learn I feel.
Have you tried the tutorials on the jQuery site? They're actually pretty good... Take a look at the beginner one:
I read the book "jquery In Action", and found it really helpful. I would recommend a good book and a toy project to try the stuff out on. Maybe try to emulate some of the features of sites you like.
I'd suggest looking at: jQuery for Designers (by Remy Sharp, of Left Logic). His videos (on j4d) are fantastic, particularly when he gets visibly stuck and then works it out.
If you don't mind a hard-copy recommendation, I'd happily endorse O'Reilly's jQuery: Novice to Ninja book, which has yet to turn me into any kind of ninja, but is accessible and worth-while reading in its approach to the subject.
