jQuery – yet another example of killer open source

Ok, so by now a lot of people are already familiar with jQuery. We used it at Imagekind and I’ve used it messing around with various other projects too. jQuery is a JavaScript toolkit designed to simplify various tasks such as element selection, DOM manipulation, event handling, AJAX and animations.

If you’re doing a project that isn’t primarily based on Flash and requires certain effects such as Drag-and-Drop or you need to add DOM elements on the fly – there is almost certainly a plugin that is available to you within the jQuery plugin library. There is a complete themed interaction and widget library that sits on top of jQuery that have you making sortable lists within minutes – not hours. Very cool. Try it if you haven’t.
