What is jQuery Training?

jQuery Training

After an introduction to JavaScript, the focus of this Introduction to jQuery training workshop is on using jQuery within client-side web pages to enhance the user experience and to consume and present data from a web server via Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX).

Whether your server-side code is written in PHP, Java or any other type of code, this jQuery training course will let you present your data using the latest features users expect.

The jQuery course had good content and covered all the areas I was keen to learn. The tutor was very knowledgeable and could answer any questions I had. The course was very hands on - I learn by doing so this was perfect - it has given me tools to go and apply in the real world

Plenty of practical exercises, the humour used in the manual also helped!

The course was simply very well organised, and was very well presented. The trainer was very well versed not only in Jquery, but also in many other JS frameworks. He also inspired me to use more JS in my projects. The staff at Silicon beach were also very friendly and welcoming. One of the best Training courses I have attended.

Nick, the trainer, appeared to be very experienced in jQuery. He was able to answer all our questions confidently. The course was very well structured. We were taught each concept or feature of jQuery and then we were given some time, depending on the difficulty of the concept or feature, to tackle some exercises ourselves. This helped us to understand the concept or feature better. Writing lots of jQuery code was very good practise for us and I found towards the end of the course I was able to write jQuery code from scratch, without copying from anywhere else. I feel I have taken away a lot from the jQuery course, a lot more than I expected. I am now using jQuery code in our website, and I can do most of the simple stuff without having to search for online examples, which means I can get things done quicker. I am very pleased I took the course.
