    What people are saying

    front-end web development track

    I took the course as a part of the Front-End Web Development track and I shortly got educated on how powerful JavaScript and jQuery can be.

    lightbox effect for photos

    Lightbox effect for photos is just about everywhere I have a photo because it just works beautifully.

    functional or object oriented

    Of course, any prior programming experience in functional or object oriented programming will suffice.

    possibly more efficient ways

    Being self taught, there was a lot of stuff I did because the article online said to do it, but I didn't know why I was doing it, or that there were other, possibly more efficient ways of achieving the same thing.

    really could not reccommend

    Really could not reccommend this enough if you want to dip a toe into a more structured yet informal jQuery learning experience.

    article online said

    immediately useful things

    Thoroughly enjoyed the course, learnt an awful lot and went away with a lot of immediately useful things.

    I have used jQuery at work, all very informal, mainly through Google when I needed something!
