Course Description

In this course we cover the basics of jQuery including effects, manipulation, dynamic creation of elements, and interaction events. While Javascript is a very powerful language, we often have to write a lot of boilerplate code to work with different browsers. jQuery abstracts some of that logic away from us, so that we have more utilitarian functions that we can work with. Essentially, it's a library that boosts Javascript front-end development. We'll explore jQuery to add and remove elements from the Document Object Model (DOM), we'll look at event handling, and look at some other techniques that jQuery allows us to use that will make our development a bit easier.
Course Includes:

28 videos with over 80 minutes of lectures and explanations.
6 external resource files.
9 exercises to help you master jQuery concepts.

The linked training from Code School is much better than the training from RefactorU.

By Frank Stepanski

Pretty much just goes through very basic examples for most of it. Most I can just research on my own online. Last slide they have these exercises you can do and they give you solution without explaining it though in the videos. If they went through each exercise solution in the videos, I'd give it 4 stars.

Again, get it if you get it cheaper than the $59 price
