Cooking with jQuery
This will be a hands-on session, with multiple presenters. We’ll take attendees from jQuery beginnings to capably and efficiently using jQuery in everyday web development. We will cover the jQuery selector engine, events, Ajax and a variety of other popular jQuery topics identifying best practices and common jQuery mistakes along the way.
Attendees will be expected to have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS, and it will be helpful if they have at least dabbled a bit in JavaScript. A laptop would be helpful (but not required) for following along with interactive demonstrations and examples.

Gotta add, the mockjax stuff is way cool.
Pretty good up to about 4:00, then it slowed way down. Last hour spent watching a bunch of typing? Would have been better with pre-packaged examples and/or more Q&A. On the plus side I am coming away with some very practical ideas for improving our JS, well worth the tutorial time.
