Course description
In this workshop, we will introduce jQuery, the most popular JavaScript library for making webpages interactive. This is the perfect follow-up workshop for those who have attended our Intro to JS: Animations and Events workshop.
The workshop will be a mix of lectures and hands-on exercises in pairs, and will be taught by Jaclyn Karnowski, Content Development Manager at Udemy.
Slides and materials are hosted here.
