If you've found you've needed to write a bit (or more!) of interactive functionality using JavaScript, and couldn't because you a) didn't know how and b) didn't have time to learn how: then this workshop is for you.

You'll be learning jQuery from a practical point of view: what you can use out of the box to quickly get effects and interaction live in to your wireframes, prototypes and web sites.  The aim *isn't* to teach you JavaScript, but to teach you what you need to know to be able to leverage jQuery to do your bidding.

During the day, Remy will show you how to dConstruct existing effects in web sites and show you how create your own using jQuery. The workshop will also cover topics such as:

- JavaScript & debugging basics: how to fake it as a JavaScripter
- Progressive enhancement & Graceful degradation - what's what
- jQuery: how do bend the DOM to your will
- Effect and animations - things that go whizz bang!
- Ajax: it's even simpler than you think
- Using jQuery UI for instant widgets, for zero work
