I want to make a push to have the Treehouse staff do a course/workshop on Parallax scrolling.
Can we make this happen?

26,676 PointsAgreed but I don't think jQuery should be involved as you can build a very simple parallax framework using just vanilla JavaScript.

31,709 PointsTrue but I think the level of JS courses here may leave gaps for those not familiar with the language. I suppose they could do a lot of teaching if they did it in vanilla JS.
Edit: miss worded.

26,676 PointsParallax driven website in my mind isn't a beginner level course, it would be advanced so from my perspective you would need to have intermediate level JavaScript knowledge as building it with JavaScript essentially means you're using it for DOM traversing, scrolling events, manipulation etc. all of which can be easily achieved using vanilla JS.
That's just how I see it anyway, personally though I avoid parallax designs as they suck for UX.
