• Creating a jQuery Plugin: A Beginner’s Guide

  • By: Jarod Taylor | Category: jQuery

  • This is not an introduction to jQuery or a tutorial on the basic syntax rules of jQuery, but, rather how to take what little knowledge you already have of jQuery to the next level by putting it to practical use, and building a jQuery plugin.

    By taking your knowledge of CSS, and what knowledge you already have of jQuery, I'm going to walk you through the processes of creating a jQuery plugin. I feel, by using the skills you're already comfortable with, like CSS, it will be easier to wrap your head around jQuery. So instead of trying to learn a bunch of programming concepts, you may or may not understand, you're going to learn something new by using concepts that are already familiar to you. Once you're finished with this tutorial, you'll then be ready to take the necessary steps in really learning jQuery.
