Where can I find a tutorial to get started learning jQuery?

Question

Where is a good place to get started learning how to use jQuery? It seems to be all the rage nowadays, and I want be in on whatever the cool kids are doing. I know some basics of Javascript but I'm by no means an expert.

Answer 1

Here's a 4 part (so far) series on Jquery Basics.

Answer 2

Have you looked through jQuery.com? Their documentation is really excellent.

Answer 3

Officially from jQuery http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials

Or try anything on this site that compiles a bunch of jQuery learning material:

Answer 4

JQuery web site has some nice tutorials itself.

Answer 5

I can whole-heartedly recommend Manning's 'JQuery In Action'. VERY readable, and does a great job of explaining the framework-specific abstractions.

Answer 6

As well as the jQuery in Action book that's already been mentioned, there's Learning jQuery and jQuery Reference Guide from Packt. They work well as a pair: the Learning book has plenty of examples that they walk through in some detail - once you know what's possible, the Reference Guide helps you find the right method from the fairly comprehensive options available.
