  jQuery
jQuery for .Net Developers
with Ely Lucas, .Net Developer
   
     Do you want to build
rich, interactive, client side web based applications?
     jQuery can help you do just that!
     jQuery is a lightweight open source JavaScript library (only 15kb in size) that in a relatively short span of time has become one of the most popular libraries on the web. This  cross-browser library is designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.
     Visual Studio 2010 is the first version of Visual Studio to ship JQuery as a native part of the ASP.NET solution set. By default, when you create new ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC projects with VS 2010 you’ll find jQuery automatically added to your project.
     This means that now is the time to become familiar with jQuery and discover how this powerful library can help you build the applications you need.
     Join us as Ely helps us build interactive applications using jQuery -- specifically geared towards .Net developers.
