PeepCode Meet Jquery

Description :
This tutorial is made by Geoffrey Grosenbach
Two years in the making, it’s the PeepCode screencast on jQuery, the popular javascript framework for developing web applications.
jQuery stormed out of the gate and quickly won the hearts of developers. Its design and implementation make it easy for you to accomplish basic tasks. Extendability is built in with its plugin architecture (you’ll write one in this screencast). You can organize code around native javascript objects (you’ll do that, too!).
Researching and producing this screencast converted the author from a jQuery skeptic to a believer. If you want to understand the fundamentals in an easy, fun way with the high production values, motion graphics, and straight-to-the-point depth of PeepCode, this is the screencast for you!
In addition, you’ll learn about the Pomodoro time managment technique by building a simple time-tracking application.
