$(’squonk’).reallyLoves(jQuery);
It all started late one night, as my eyes started to droop and the letters on my laptop screen began to run together; I had run into a third straight job requiring a number of trivial Javascript effects that had to degrade gracefully, and as I agonized over the dry arcana that Google had spat out at me, I came across the excellent jQuery for Designers Tutorial by Mark Panay. (You should read it if you’re looking for a great primer for this holiest of JS libraries.) I’ve read a lot of insight into Javascript techniques and libraries in particular, but Mark has a really good point, and touches upon the reason I love jQuery: I’m using Javascript because jQuery tricked me into it.
