jQuery for Designers and Themers

Small non-intrusive animations and interactions can greatly enhance the user experience and impress website visitors and clients. jQuery and jQuery UI make it easy to add these enhancements with very little knowledge of javascript or programming. Learn how!

No understanding of jQuery, javascript or even Drupal theming is required, but a good understanding of CSS selectors (e.g. “#page #content > p a.read_more {}“) and how HTML elements are nested within each other to build a “tree” (aka “DOM”) is important.

This session is based on a very successful and similar session I gave at DrupalCon Paris, September 2009 and the sample code that resulted from that; the jQuery for Designers and Themers theme for Drupal 6. I also gave this session at DrupalCon San Francisco, April 2010, and a similar, but more advanced session at DrupalSouth Wellington, January 2010.

• Slides are at TinyURL.com/jQuery-Designers (Google Docs). They will be updated for DrupalCamp Chicago.
• Audio from DrupalCon SF. Audio is high quality, but video contains slides only. Sorry I forgot to repeat the questions.
• Video from DrupalCon Paris. It is a very poor quality recording.
• Sample code is at Drupal.org/Project/jQ4DaT.
