JavaScript makes the web dynamic by allowing programmers to manipulate the way a web browser interprets the site being viewed. jQuery is by far the most popular JavaScript library out today.

Local web developer Mark Casias will explore the main features of jQuery and discuss some of it's advantages and features. He will also detail the jQuery UI portion to show how to easily create dynamic interfaces and forms. Also there are a lot of third-party plug-ins that greatly enhance the library, making your job as a programmer easy(ish).

*Presentation to be followed by socializing at One Up for those folks who want to stick around.*
