Google Tech Talks

ABSTRACT
jQuery is a JavaScript library that stands out among its competitors
because it is faster, focuses on writing less code, and is very
extensible. In this talk, I will explore jQuery and how to use it. I
will start off talking about the basics of using jQuery. Then, I will
talk about building plugins. Finally, time permitting, I will take
apart some plugins and talk about how they work, and I will show the
nitty gritty details of the library.
