For the past couple of weeks I’m (re)learning a couple of web frameworks. Namely, Yii for PHP and jQuery for JavaScript.
Almost always, my process when learning something new goes like this:
- Find an introductory tutorial or book to get a glimpse of what is possible and get a feeling of how it all works.
- Establish a robust source of documentation, which, at least for OSS stuff, will most probably be the guide found on the developers’ site.
- Play around with it. For me that almost always means “Make a simple game with it”
And this is what I came up with jQuery after just 2-3 days of getting serious about it:

Such a great and easy framework!!
All code is embedded in the HTML in case you want to take a look.
