[Noisebridge-announce] Frontend Web Development, Monday 8pm: More useful jQuery plugins

[Jeffrey Carl Faden]

Our final jQuery-focused class on Monday will touch on a number of other
common plugins that are found in the wild. We'll took a closer look at
Bootstrap and jQuery UI, and look at plugins that make your page look super
snazzy:
- Datepicker (jQuery UI) (http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/) - fancy
datepickers appearing near your input fields
- Accordion (jQuery UI) (http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/) - collapse
and unfold lists of elements
- Scrollspy (Bootstrap) (http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#scrollspy) -
change navs to highlight where you are scrolled on a page
- Cycle2 (http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/) - make easy slideshows
- Chosen (http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/) - style dropdowns

--- The usual details follow ---

Learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript - and put them to good use! This weekly
lecture series, taught by Jeffrey Carl Faden, is aimed at complete
beginners who are interested in making websites, as well as seasoned
professionals looking to brush up on the latest and greatest.

Frontend web development is all about making code that runs in the browser
(versus code that runs on the server). There isn't a big focus on web
design (creating wireframes and mockups), but we do cover best practices
for turning these designs into beautiful code.

The class starts on Monday at 8pm, and goes until 10pm! Plan to arrive
EARLY, as the class has been filling up very fast. We will have a recap of
last week's material starting at 7:30pm. If you're either new, couldn't
make last week's class or you simply need a refresher, come early and we'll
go through a simple tutorial.

This class does go in a series, but the series can last up to half a year.
Don't let it discourage you if you're starting from the middle - attend
recaps and labs and you should be able to catch up!

This class and the space in which it's taught are entirely free to attend.
Please bring a laptop. Read all of the details here:
