Why attendees will be excited to hear about it?

What level of knowledge should attendees have before walking into your session?

Attendees can have no knowledge, a limited working knowledge, or even a good understanding / experience with jQuery prior to the session. The session includes an introduction to jQuery and it's key features with live demonstrations which lays the ground work to further explore more specific jQuery topics later in the session.

 

What will your session accomplish and what will attendees walk away having learned?

Attendees will walk away with having learned what jQuery is and what it has to offer as well as some more specific applications of jQuery. This will hopefully inspire the attendees to try out jQuery, explore more complexities that jQuery has to offer,  and possibly include it in their future work.
