I Heart Javascript

Well, sometimes. And sometimes I hate it. Like when stuff doesn’t work. And takes hours to figure out why, and it ends up being something so obvious that it just makes you want to rip your eyeballs out. But then again, I guess this happens with any code problems. Always something simple. Us coders think too hard!

Anyway, I’m currently in love with jQuery, and all of the awesome effects it lets you create. In this portfolio alone I have about 4-5 different jQuery effects going on. (For those of you that don’t know what jQuery is, it is a lightweight cross-browser Javascript library… which basically means it’s code written in Javascript that can be used to create many different applications such as plugins, animation effects, and widgets.) Wordpress alone has hundreds of plugins built with jQuery. This makes it handy, especially for those non-tech folk, to add in a slideshow, gallery, fun rollover effects, or just about anything else you could think of that makes a website look cool. And you should use these things! There are too many boring, ugly websites out there that need help! Oh, and if your site is one of those sites, you should hire me. :)
