Basic JQuery Lectures?

Where are the basic "Deep Dive" JQuery lessons? Andrew connects JQuery with building the smells like baken site and I find this a little advanced for a beginner. Am i missing a section of lessons? I am following the path "Become a Web Designer". I found the Basic Programming to be very helpful and felt it should be before JQuery.

Other than the great content already advised on, it may be worth also having a go at:

try.jquery.com

I concur, I felt the jQuery challenges expected you to understand more without explaining it before hand.

There isn't anything else for jQuery at the moment.

However, it is on the Team Treehouse radar and I'm sure once Andrew Chalkley has finished doing his fantastic database lessons, he'll look into doing a jQuery Foundation for us.

I think the Javascript lessons are rather old too as they take the previous branding of super vegetables or whatever the company is called.

@Drew - I'd suggest you might want to try a different course path and maybe supplement with other resources.

My suggestion is probably:

Andrew Chalkley
STAFF
Andrew Chalkley
Treehouse Guest Teacher
Andrew Chalkley

+1 on everything said here.

JavaScript Foundations wasn't added to the Designer Learning Adventure until today so you may be struggling a little more than you needed to.

There's also a small bug in the ordering of the learning adventure and the app team are looking in to it at the moment.

The order should be:

  • Build a Simple Website
  • HTML
  • CSS 2nd Edition
  • Aesthetic Foundations
  • UX Foundations
  • Build a Responsive Website
  • Introduction to Programming
  • JavaScript Foundations
  • Build an Interactive Website (jQuery)
  • How to Market Your Business

I see that the Designer Learning Adventure has been updated. I would suggest putting Introduction to Programming before the JavaScript Foundations as Jim Hoskins lectures flow in that order. Thank you guys for all the great lessons! I am learning a ton and very quickly.

best, Drew
