Advanced JS: Intro to jQuery

In this evening workshop, we will introduce jQuery, the most popular JavaScript library for making webpages interactive. Just like with our one-day workshops, we'll have hands-on exercises throughout the night. For any of you who've gone to our JS intro workshop or learnt JS on their own, this will be a great follow-up workshop.

This workshop will be taught by Liz Howard. Liz is an instructor at Hackbright (http://www.hackbrightacademy.com/) and Girl Develop It and a professional mentor and consultant. She's been coding for 9 years, and really loves to teach. If you're interested in helping out as a teaching assistant, please let us know.

Please install the following prior to the workshop:

A code editor. We recommend Notepad++ for Windows and SublimeText for Mac.

A modern browser. We recommend Google Chrome (best) or Mozilla Firefox with the Firebug plugin.

Thanks to our sponsor Yammer (http://www.yammer.com) for the great location and snacks!

If you'd like to attend but cannot afford the cost, please request a GDI scholarship (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHRPTms0blNlTlo3cUpySFJENzBEdWc6MQ).

Please note that we cannot issue refunds, since there's an overhead to issuing refunds via Meetup.com and we already offer the workshops at such a low-cost. We put proceeds into the chapter fund, which we use as our scholarship fund.
