jQuery UI site launched


I'm a big fan of the javascript library called jQuery. jQuery allows you to create cool animations that would normally take a technology with a browser plug-in like Flash or Silverlight to achieve. jQuery UI recently launched a new web site that is focused on user interface development with the jQuery javascript library. Looks like a good start for the user interface design and development resource web site. I'm looking forward to more good things! Check out some of their sample UI demos. Also, nice site design as well. Great job guys!

jQuery Fun

I really enjoy working with jQuery, a javascript library for creating interactivity on the web. jQuery can be used to create simple web animations that would typically take Flash and some Actionscript to produce. While JavaScript libraries such as jQuery are not a replacement for rich media authoring tools like Flash, it will be interesting to see what happens in the next few years as these libraries are enhanced with more "rich media like" effects.
