While learning about jquery, I stumbled upon a new site called http://html-ipsum.com/. I used to goto lorem ipsum and copy code and then format it to my need. But this site already does a bunch of things for me. Check it out you wont be disappointed if you are a UI designer.

How to test you code in different IE version browsers at the same time.

Today, I have decided to learn jQuery. They got my new computer yesterday and I am very excited about the fact that I can learn UI again. After watching a couple of jQuery videos, It is more exciting to know that there is a tutorial called "jQuery for absolute beginners". While watching these videos, I found that the best tool to test your code in multiple IE version is "IETester." Played with it for a while and like it a lot.

Learning JQuery

Today I haves started to learn jQuery. Had been thinking for a while but, never was able to do some solid coding. A friend of mine refered me to this site. http://jsfiddle.net/


1. The best way to learn jQuery is download a cheat sheet, and understand the document.
2. Get Webdeveloper firefox extension and learn how to inspect elements.
3. Learn how to load jQuery to any page you are looking at. (It is little complicated. Goto to the link and bookmark it.

http://www.learningjquery.com/2009/04/better-stronger-safer-jquerify-bookmarklet)

Clicking on that link while viewing any page will inject jQuery in that page and you can use webDeveloper to inspect elements using JQuery.

4. Open JSFiddle and then create your own files.

Whatever be the learning curve, do the one that suits you.
