Nice tutorial. How’d you get Chrome for mac?
( )Jeffrey Way August 26th

( )Colby963 August 26th
the beta is out for developers i believe
( )Stian Didriksen August 26th
I see you’re using Camtasia for the Mac, very cool to see it in action
( )Jeffrey Way August 26th
I didn’t get to use much functionality for this one. Just a simple record and talk.
I’ll do more in the future.
( )Dan Harper August 27th
We can tell
This video was much smoother than your others (switching windows, moving the cursor etc.)
Raspo August 26th
Did you use Camtasia Studio to record this video?
( )Jeffrey Way August 26th
Yep! Camtasia, Mac.
( )Dave August 26th
The envato intro for this video is sick. watched it 3 times
( )Jeffrey Way August 26th
Isn’t it? I love our logo sting!
( )Peewee1002 August 27th
I have to admit I did the same.
I have worked out how you made it I think.
Looks like an after effects text fade with some particles.
Not sure though – give us a clue???

Its a good library but has issues with IE…..
( )Johnathan August 26th
Really really nice. Loved it. Hoping to use some of this in a site I’m building for a friend at the minute.
@Abhin whay IE issues are there? I’m on a Mac so can’t check atm.
( )Abhin August 26th
I had used it for a project got a lot of bugs including png transperancy issues so eventually shifted to jQuery UI.
( )Johnathan August 26th
But the transparency is IE’s problem and can be fixed pretty easily?
Abhin August 26th
See tooltip and overlay gave me lot of problems in IE only else library is excellent and PNG fixes leaves a bad looking white border on overlay images and in IE it gives a Square overlay that does not look cool instead there are other options available
( )Johnathan August 26th
Oh, It would be the tooltip I would be using most I think. Well for the site I’m working on at the minute anyway.

Hello, Sir Jeffrey Way,
How are you? I am waiting for your post on blog.themeforest of jquery-for-absolute-beginners-video-series.
Thanks
( )Muhammad Adnan August 26th
Downloaded videos should be Zip.
( )chad August 26th
Haven’t watched it yet but I lately I’ve been watching some of the videos on my ipod. However what how do I do that when it’s a plus tut?
( )David B August 26th
Wow…it’s taking forever to download.
This really should be zipped.
I can’t wait to watch this vid. Jeff you’re awesome dude. I learned all about wordpress thanks to you and your over 7 hour video series
( )Shane August 27th
Thanks for sharing!
( )Steve August 27th
I can’t watch this video while I’m at work, can someone elaborate what this tutorial actually is? Whats jQuery tools?
( )Steve August 27th
nevermind, I finally got on the jQuery tool site.
( )awake August 28th
As far as I’m concerned I’ve not seen the benefit of Tuts Plus for developers or front-end engineers.
It’s all design stuff, and things like JQuery Tools does not justify a developer signing up for it.
The content on NetTuts seems to be of more value… Just my 2 cents
( )Alex Stomp August 29th
why doesn’t your website jeff-way.com work anymore?
( )Jeffrey Way August 29th
Working on a redesign for the CI series.
( )Karo August 30th
Do do the Plus tutorials get released to the public for free after some time goes by or must we sign up for a Plus pass to get access to those videos?
( )LuK August 31st
Both thumbs up for jQueryTools…I use it since it’s out and it rocks heavily…version 1.1 is in beta and it’s fantastic!!!
( )Jaysone November 4th
When i activate rewrite_module (developing locally using wamp) and when i activate permalinks..the overlays and the tabs i integrated don’t work..wonder why?
