I have been going CRAZY over my newly discovered passion and joy – that being JQeury (and thus my reunion with Javascript) .

I intend on going into alot more detail very soon but for right now just know that JQuery is a Javascript library (very small and lightweight) and allows you to do some very cool Javascript stuff that would normally take many more lines of code. … Ya, just like the .Net Framework.

I put together an external page to show off just a VERY VERY few little cool things it can do ( HERE -please ignore the .Net stuff. I also built this page in asp.net just to see how they would interact).

I also dusted off an old Javascript book and followed a tutorial in the back of said book to produce a neat little Javascript poker game – (I also added just a little JQuery in the game — watch the fading score and messages).

This game is completely created from Javascript and was totally quick and easy to do!

This game would be SOOO easy to extend with some Very cool effects using JQUERY ( please feel free to take the code and let me know if you do some cool stuff with it).

One thing I thought would be neat would be to create a High Score cookie that keep the user’s best 5 scores or something like that. SUGGESTIONS or comments are welcome!

peace.
