Mastering jQuery now available at TekPub
AJAX, ASP.NET, JavaScript, jQuery By Dave Ward on December 16th, 2009
If you haven’t been following the progress of Rob Conery and James Avery’s new venture, TekPub, you’ve been missing out on some great instructional videos. I especially like that they trend slightly Alt.NET, giving you more balanced information than is sometimes available from “official” .NET screencasts.
For the past few weeks, I’ve been working with James to record a series of episodes for TekPub myself: Mastering jQuery.
Mastering jQuery walks through the basics of using jQuery, the revolutionary JavaScript framework that makes writing client-side code fun and easy, and then dives into the details of writing AJAX enabled ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web Forms applications. We will also cover popular plugins and extending jQuery in future episodes.
Today, the first video in that series is available: Getting Started with jQuery.
In this episode we cover the basics of getting started with jQuery. We start with a basic HTML page and show how to include jQuery, how to write your first code, and explain all of the moving pieces and how they work.
If you’ve been following my site and working with jQuery already, the first episode may sound elementary, but there’s going to be something for everyone before the series is finished. By the third episode, we’re already into topics like making AJAX calls to MVC controller actions and progressively enhancing an entry form with the jQuery form plugin.
I hope you’ll head over to TekPub, and have a look for yourself.

Awesome! Is it $25 for the first video… or $25 for all the videos in that series?
FYI, tech tweet coming at 10:45am CST ;)
It’s $25 for the entire series (which will probably consist of six videos).
Awesome! Your blog here has been so help and the screencast you did was really great. I’m looking forward to more of the same. I had checked out TekPub a few months back and I think you’ll really compliment what those guys are offering. Good stuff!
If you liked the Firebug screencast, I think you’ll definitely like this series. It’s a bit less succinct since we don’t have to fit everything into 10 minutes, but it’s in the same conversational format.
I do not like the paid stuff,just hope you can keep the good articles free and keep posting good articles rather than make everything price tag on it.
Even programmers have to eat.
Amen.
Thanks for the post. I think I’m going to sign up for the nhibernate videos ;)
Good luck with this series. Hopefully this new site can grow into something meaty and useful for us web devs who live in the real world and need stuff that show more than the basics.
