Hi all,
jQuery originally had a "Try jQuery" thing that was mostly for beginners and
assumed a fair bit about knowing CSS, plain JavaScript and HTML.
Today they re-launched[1] with Code School and it is pretty impressive, I highly recommend
it.
It goes through understanding the DOM, cross-browser differences, CSS, the jQuery API and
more. And does so in a very easy to understand way, with videos, downloadable slides with
exercises a long the way. Yet, all-in-all, the entire course shouldn't take more than
a couple hours to complete start to finish.
While Trevor, Roan and I are still working on taking our experience from the
"Frontend Master Class" and putting it out there in a re-usable way, I'm
thinking of dropping a few chapters in favour of this and refactoring the other chapters
to be more like this.
So, go check it out:

Happy weekend,

PS: I meant to send this out earlier (like, relative soon after jQuery's blog post)
but I figured i'd check it out myself first. I have done so now, and still recommend
it :)
