New video class jQuery with Alpha Five v10.5 Alpha Five Expert Jeff Cogswell shows you what you need to know to integrate jQuery into your Alpha Five web applications. In about 40 minutes you'll see how and where to get the jQuery Source files, how to get Alpha Five to publish them, how to reference objects and collection of objects on an A5W page, and more. The examples he provides include how to build fade in buttons, tabs, and auto-complete fields that you can use anywhere. The Javascript that is used is all carefully explained, so that it is clear even if you are new to Javascript. (Some basic familiarity with HTML is helpful. )

What is jQuery?

jQuery is the single most popular Javascript library on the planet. It's used to add effects and functionality to web pages so that - for instance - buttons fade in, or popup dialog boxes appear. It's used to add polish and shine to your applications so that they look and perform like the very best websites today.

In fact 31% of the 10,000 most popular websites already use jQuery - more than any other library. It's also supported by virtually every browser - including mobile browsers like iPhones, iPads and Androids. This makes it much more compatible than Adobe Flash.

And to make it even more appealing - jQuery is Free. It's an open source project originally from MIT and is available to you at no charge.
