In this jQuery UI training course, expert author Dan Wellman will teach you how to navigate the jQuery user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes that are built on top of the jQuery JavaScript library. This course is designed for the intermediate user that already has a working knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript to design websites.
You will start by learning about the jQuery UI core and utilities, such as the core methods and selectors and the position utility. You will then learn about the various widgets available in the UI, including the accordion, progressbar, tabs, button, slider, tooltip, spinner, dialog, autocomplete, and datepicker widget.
