jQuery Tutorial for Beginners: Nothing But the Goods

Not too long ago I wrote an article for Six Revisions called “Getting Started with jQuery” that covered some important things (concept-wise) that beginning jQuery developers should know.

This article is the complete opposite; there’s no concepts, no principles, and very little lecturing -- just some straight example code with brief descriptions demonstrating what you can do with jQuery.

This fast-paced tutorial should be able to get beginners up and running with jQuery very quickly, while also providing a good overview of what jQuery is capable of (although jQuery’s capabilities go far beyond this beginning tutorial).

Keep in mind that this tutorial is just a bunch of straightforward, superficial code examples and very brief explanations for beginners who want to avoid all the jargon and complexities. But I still highly recommend that all beginners get past this stuff by means of a good book, some more in-depth tutorials online, or by using the jQuery documentation.
