I started receiving Nettuts+’s 10-minute-ish video tutorials in jQuery a couple of days ago. Ran through the first lesson last week, but didn’t get a chance to open up the next one until today. (I have a pile in my inbox, now.)
So far I like it! The videos are good refreshers for what I’ve read in textbooks so far, and they’re short and easy to understand (which is a huge plus, since they’re targeted at the absolute beginner.)
Key takeaways from Day 2’s video:</p>
$(document.ready(function() {
});
.. .can be written as:
$(function () {
});
Also, the document-ready function is written so that the rest of the code on the page can load before the jQuery.
