As a web guy, I’ve experimented with and used all sorts of cool technology over the years. Recently, I’ve taken a delight in jQuery. I have been working through my “Learning jQuery 1.3” book written by Chaffer and Swedberg.

Although I have only spent a few days working through the book (I am only into chapter 3), the power of jQuery has already been instilled into my web guy brain. Of course this sounds completely nerdy, but I think I’m actually giddy about jQuery. I haven’t been this excited about an aspect of web development in a really long time.

All nerd issues aside, the power of implicit iteration, chaining, interaction, browser-neutral, and simple javascript code…is a truly wonderful thing.
