The document discusses jQuery fundamentals including selectors, interacting with the DOM, handling events, and Ajax features. It provides examples and recommendations for learning jQuery including reading documentation, using tools like VSDoc and Fiddler, and consuming tea and beer. Next steps mentioned are exploring additional JavaScript libraries and frameworks like Knockout, Backbone, LINQ.js, TypeScript, and SignalR to build richer user interfaces.

5. Why use jQuery
• First of all what you need to know:
 Javascript
 Html
 Css
• Why jQuery is so famous?
 JavaScript Library (single file)
 Cross-browser support
 Selector
 Handle events
 Animate
 Post and Get (Ajax calls)
 A lot of plugins available

6. What is DOM?
• http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/introduction.html
• The Document Object Model (DOM) is an application programming interface
(API) for valid HTML and well-formed XML documents. It defines the logical
structure of documents and the way a document is accessed and manipulated.
In the DOM specification, the term "document" is used in the broad sense -
increasingly, XML is being used as a way of representing many different kinds of
information that may be stored in diverse systems, and much of this would
traditionally be seen as data rather than as documents. Nevertheless, XML
presents this data as documents, and the DOM may be used to manage this
data.
• With the Document Object Model, programmers can build documents, navigate
their structure, and add, modify, or delete elements and content. Anything found
in an HTML or XML document can be accessed, changed, deleted, or added
using the Document Object Model, with a few exceptions - in particular, the
DOM interfaces for the XML internal and external subsets have not yet been
specified.

7. What DOM looks like

8. Learn the language
• From Shawn Wildermuth - JavaScript for the C# Guy:
 http://wildermuth.com/2012/5/6/JavaScript_for_the_C_Guy_The_Global_Object
 http://wildermuth.com/2012/3/16/JavaScript_for_the_C_Guy_Scopes
 http://wildermuth.com/2012/3/10/JavaScript_for_the_C_Guy_Function_Overloads
 http://wildermuth.com/2012/5/28/JavaScript_for_the_C_Guy_The_confusion_about_this

9. Using jQuery Ready Function
• $(document).ready()
 Each HTML document loaded into a browser window becomes a document object
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).read(function() {
// do it
});
</script>
• What means $?
 The $ is a identifier. jQuery use it as the primary base object (or function). Ex:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var ᾩ = function (object) {
object.Company = "Content and Code";
return object;
};
alert(ᾩ(document).Company);
</script>

10. Use the dictionary
• http://api.jquery.com -> it will be your best friend
• If you want intellisense works with jquery, look that:
http://appendto.com/community/jquery-vsdoc
• SP /// <reference path="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.7-vsdoc.js" />

11. Demo - Referencing a jQuery Script

12. Speak a lot
Selector

13. Selecting Nodes by: id, class name,
attribute name
• Different ways to select a node:
 By id:
 $(“#myDiv”)
 $(“div[id]”)
 By class:
 $(“.myClass”)
 By attribute:
 $(„div[id]‟)
 $(„input[name~=“man”]‟)

14. Demo Selector
 $(“#myDiv”)
 $(“div[id]”)
 $(“.myClass”)

15. The Other Selectors
 ~= contains a word
 |= contains a prefix
 *= contains a string in the word
 = equals
 != not equal
 ^= start with
 :button is a button
 :checkbox is a checkbox
 :checked is a checked checkbox

16. Demo The Other Selector

17. Speak a lot
Interacting
with the DOM

18. Iterating Through Nodes
.each(function (index, Element)) is used to iterate through jQuery objects:
$('div')
.each(function(index) {
alert(index + ‘ ‘ + $(this).text());
});
-----------------
• $('.row').last().remove();
-----------------
var newBox = $('<div class="tile"
id="bb"></div>').addClass(colorOfMyNewBox);
var lastrow = $('.row').last();
newBox.appendTo(lastrow);

19. Demo Modify Properties and Attributes
• Object attributes can be accessed using attr():
var val = $('#logo').attr('title');
$('#logo').attr('title‘, ‘new logo title’);
$('#addBox').attr({
title: '',
css: {
'border': '2px solid black;‘
}
});

20. Demo Adding and Removing nodes
$('#addRow').click(function () {
$('<div class="row"></div>').appendTo('.list');
});
$('#removeLastBox').click(function () {
$('.tile').last().remove();
});

21. Speak a lot Handling
Events

22. Demo Handling Events
$(function() {
$(".tile").mousedown(function() {
$(this).addClass("selectedTile");
});
$(".tile").mouseup(function() {
$(this).removeClass("selectedTile");
});
});
$('#removeLastBox').bind('click', function() {});
$('#removeLastBox').unbind('click');

23. Speak a lot Ajax
Features

24. Load function
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#mockData').click(function () {
$('#displayMockData').load('mockData.hmtl');
});
});
$('#displayMockData').load('mockData.hmtl #faq3');
$('#displayMockData').load(‘GetCustomers.aspx', {PageSize:25});

25. .get() and .post() functions
$.get('/Examples/GetBoxes',
function (data) {
var list = $('<div class="list"></div>');
var newRow = $('<div class="row"></div>').appendTo(list);
var newBoxes = '';
$.each(data, function (index, item) {
newBoxes += '<div class="' + item.CssClass + '" id="' + item.Id +
'" title="' + item.Tlt + '"></div>';
});
$(newRow).append(newBoxes);
$(list).appendTo('#displayMockDataFromServer');
});
$.post('/Product/UpdateProduct', { Id: dto.id, Name: dto.name, Color: dto.color, ListPrice:
dto.price, ProductModel: dto.model, Quantity: dto.qty },
function () {
dto.edit(false);
});
