Hi Friends, if you really want to learn jQuery follow basic series on 9lessons. Jquery is an awesome javascipt library, it’s help you for developing dazing web projects.

In this tutorial I want to discuss very basic level jquery and working with Click() event.

That's enough! jQuery is the most popular JS framework -> everyone is writing about it -> there are thousands of tutorials on how to start working with jquery/understand jquery/build a toilet with jquery -> why another one? Can we see something more advanced? Like - how to create reusable pieces of code instead of

    $('stuff').click(function() { alert('wowza!'); });

? Thank you.

I agree with your code example. Does that even require jQuery? The people doing more advanced jQuery are too busy doing, well, advanced jQuery to blog about it.

As a side note (or should I say down vote?), this guys blog has been posted to HN before, with the same lack of quality. It is a perfect demonstration of sheep mentality and really symbolizes everything that turns me off about the online tech/programming community right now.

No I dont care to see your facebook

No I wont follow you on twitter

No I dont care about articles titled "99 must-have problems (but a bitch aint one)"

Please try to post something _you_ find interesting or original and not try to just get hits to your site.

Sorry for that, but I do feel better now

I don't fault the author for blogging it, but it probably shouldn't be submitted to HACKER news.

Could somebody point me to a tutorial/article on how to code up OO-ish (think Prototype-like) classes in jQuery? I need to build out some client-side models but can't quite wrap my head around how to do that in jQuery.

jQuery doesn't support classes on its own. There might be a plugin for that.

Taking from my own experience (I built rather big Adobe AIR app with jquery) if you need classes (and all the stuff that comes with OOP) you are better of using Prototype or MooTools. When you reach certain size of an application written using jQuery maintenance becomes a nightmare
