I've been waiting for this.

Sweet!!

I look forward to this!

awesome!

Fantastic!

Just in time for me to finish the html and css courses (hopefully xD).

Im about to start Form Validation and Manipulation, will this pop up in my track somewhere?

jQuery Basics will replace Build an Interactive Website in a Track. The previous Smells Like Bakin' courses by Nick Pettit and Allison will be replaced with Nick's new How to Build a Website course.

The old courses will be in the Library still for people to finish, if they choose to.

I'm almost there haha, I should be there in time for it to have updated!

Fantastic!

Andrew Chalkley - I noticed JavaScript Foundations by Rachel Nabors has been dropped from the roadmap. Have plans for this course been scraped?

Nope. Just the production schedule has had a little shuffle. We'll update it when things are more solid.

Any word on when this will show up today? I had just started the Build an Interactive Website part, but stopped to wait for this.

I'm in PST so I just started today, I've got to review somethings before we go live. But it'll happen before 6PM PST :)

Awesome! I'm a night owl anyway :-)

Andrew: In the intro section, the "It's a trip" span animates coming in from the upper left area of the browser as it moves to the center of the viewport. What is doing this? I would think that it would slowly show (fade in) while positioned at the center of the viewport. Is it something to do with the "show" jQuery code?

The show() method does a pretty poor job at animating things.

You could use something like fadeIn("slow") or slideDown("show"). show() is a lot better at showing things instantly.

Gary Ford jQuery's .show() method animates the width, height, margin, padding and opacity.

Dave McFarland - Learned something new today :smile: Guess I should really read the notes in the JQuery API.

Thx Dave & Andrew for your comments. Very helpful.
