almost had a heart attack thinking this was relating to BuddyPress. But just looking at the Screencast, this really looks like a good tutorial regarding jQuery.

I keep saying this but I do really need to subscribe and sign up for the full works, all these tutorials sound great its just getting the time of day to work through them.
I get subscribed this weekend I think.
Awesomedude
don’t you think net tuts and PLUS are pushing really hard to sell subscriptions?
Maybe if they lower the price a bit I will subscribe, but there are A LOT of places that you can get the same info for FREE.
Anyway, just my two cents.

I’m subscribed but struggled to find time to watch so far! But I think it’s worth it myself, I really enjoy the tutorials.
Sam Frost
Why having a screencast on something ready available for free and easy to implement?

Sorry to say but so far the subscription as been disappointing :(

It’s not really about the plugin, it’s about learning jQuery so you can eventually write your own plugins.
