Example 1: Hello jQuery World!11:33
Selectors4:27
Selectors are the backbone of jQuery. How do you choose the DOM elements that you want to manipulate?
Example 2: Simple selectors4:12
Use the element name, class name and the element id to select DOM elements.
Example 3: More selectors9:10
jQuery offers a rich variety of ways by which you can choose elements to perform actions on.
Example 4: Traversing The DOM8:37
Example 5: Advanced selectors4:44
Example 6: Select using functions - the filter() selector4:34
You can also choose to write code to select DOM elements you're interested in. This is an advanced use case though.

Events and event handling7:29
Example 9: Event handlers9:12
The event object6:02
All event handlers get an event object as an input argument. This holds meta information about the context in which the event occurred and is very useful.
Example 10: Accessing the event object properties5:28
Event capture and bubble phases8:07
Understand how events are propagated in the browser and how jQuery abstracts away all the quirks of when to handle a event.
Example 11: Multiple event handlers4:32
Example 12: Passing data to event handlers3:11
Example 13: Listen just once3:09
Hook up event handlers so that they fire only for the very first occurrence of an event.
Example 14: Remove event handlers4:29
Example 15: Events in namespaces6:19
Namespaces allow us to work on events in logical groups.
Event delegation6:05
Hook up events to elements which do not exist yet using event delegation.
Example 16: Setting up delegated events5:05
Example 17: Listening to key events3:05
Example 18: Event triggers4:30
This is a great tool for testing your event code, trigger events without the browser event actually occurring.
Custom events4:04
A simple DOM component can choose to fire its own custom events.
Example 19: Working with custom events4:27

Effects and animations3:57
Get introduced to the variety of animations that jQuery enables for us.
Example 20: The css() function9:03
Example 21: The show() and hide() functions6:03
Example 22: The fadeIn() and fadeOut() animations3:01
Example 23: The slideUp() and slideDown() animations2:15
Example 24: The toggle() function2:43
How do jQuery animations work?4:15
Look behind the scenes at how jQuery manages to smoothly change CSS properties over the duration of the animation.
Example 25: Run code after an animation completes4:38
Example 26: The animate() function5:33
Example 27: More animation fun4:00
Example 28: Stop animations using the stop() function7:38
Example 29: Delay animations using delay()3:46
You can add a delay between every animation that plays using a simple function
Example 30: Chaining and queueing animations7:34
Example 31: Custom animation queues5:05
Animations can be logically bundled together by adding them to custom queues.
Example 32: Bypassing the queue4:55

Manipulating the DOM1:15
Example 33: Manipulating element contents4:27
Example 34: The attr() and removeAttr() functions4:37
Example 35: Add DOM elements relative to selected elements9:48
Example 36: Create or clone elements6:31
Example 37: The remove(), detach() and empty() functions7:32
Remove elements from the DOM before editing them as a performance optimization
Example 38: The wrap() and wrapAll() functions4:03
Example 39: Explicit iteration using each()2:23

Requirements

Basic understanding of HTML, CSS and Javascript

Description

NOTE: This course uses jQuery 3.1.0 and jQuery UI 1.12.1

jQuery takes the most common operations that you would want to perform on your website and allows you to accomplish it in one line of code. Learn jQuery by example: from basic building blocks to developing your own custom plugins!

Let's parse that.

Accomplish stuff with one line of code: jQuery makes common stuff super simple. Select all paragraphs on a page? One line of code. Style all headers under the container <div> with a yellow highlight? One line of code. Animate all the ball widgets such that they bounce and move around the screen? One line of code

Basic building blocks to custom plugins: The course starts with basic principles which form the backbone of jQuery. Selectors, working with events, applying styles and animations, DOM manipulations, Ajax requests, using custom plugins etc. The later part of the course shows you can roll your own stateless and stateful plugins using the $.fn object and the widget factory.

In this course, we will learn by example. Each example is self-contained, has its source code attached, and gets across a specific jQuery use-case. Each example is simple by itself, but they come together as building blocks to build complex use cases.

What's included in this course:

Installing and setting up a basic web server with jQuery and jQuery UI libraries

jQuery basics: Selectors, selector functions, mouse and key event handlers, CSS animations and styles, the animate() function, appending and editing DOM elements, Ajax requests

jQuery in-depth: Advanced selectors, event propagation, event capture and bubble phases, how animations work, custom animation queues and bypassing the queues, performance tips and tricks

jQuery plugins: Using custom plugins, developing a stateless plugin using the $.fn object, stateful plugins using the Widget Factory, jQuery UI components and the jQuery UI theme roller

Who this course is for:

Yup! Web developers who want to move beyond mundane Javascript programming and harness the power of jQuery
Nope! Students who have never done web development using Javascript before
