I have gone through this entire video series on jQuery and highly recommend it. I was really struggling with basics like sorting out all my parentheses and curly braces, and the method of writing syntax described here FINALLY makes it all make sense!! If you want to move beyond copying and pasting jQuery examples to finally writing your own code, this series will help you get there!

12-16 hours per day for a period of 3 weeks I have scoured the web for editors, IDE's, tutorials and whatever else I can find to assist in learning the code you are presenting, but no where else have I found such a well organized, simple and structured presentation. I knew this would not be difficult if it were all laid out properly, you combined with LittleWebHut have done this in superb fashion!!!

Wow, this man is a gold mine. I have done many tuts and books as well as classes. This man's talent is unusual. Most of the time the logical flow of instructions is very confusing, however not the case here. I don't know if you get to read these comments, but I will strongly suggest to you and your associates to do the internet consumers a favor and finally realize this business, I think is long overdue.

The page of code that you are seeing is the jquery library. When the code is in your browser window, you can press ctrl+a to select it all. Then you can paste it into your text editor. Then save it from your text editor, with a .js extension, into the directory of your choice.

I've watched a number of javascript/jquery related videos. This is best-of-breed.

I looked all over trying to figure out why my jquery functions were not loading. Turns out I needed the jquery library tag above my custom js tag! Thank you!
