JQuery Tools is amazing, i used it on few websites for my clients.
Yes it is!
Nice tutorial. How’d you get Chrome for mac?
You can download it here: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=mac
the beta is out for developers i believe
I see you’re using Camtasia for the Mac, very cool to see it in action :)
I didn’t get to use much functionality for this one. Just a simple record and talk. :) I’ll do more in the future.
We can tell :) This video was much smoother than your others (switching windows, moving the cursor etc.)
Did you use Camtasia Studio to record this video?
Yep! Camtasia, Mac.
The envato intro for this video is sick. watched it 3 times
Isn’t it? I love our logo sting!
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…..
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.
I had used it for a project got a lot of bugs including png transperancy issues so eventually shifted to jQuery UI.
But the transparency is IE’s problem and can be fixed pretty easily?
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
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
Downloaded videos should be Zip.
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?
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 :D
:o – I hadn’t heard of jQuery TOOLS before.
Thanks for sharing! :)
I can’t watch this video while I’m at work, can someone elaborate what this tutorial actually is? Whats jQuery tools?
nevermind, I finally got on the jQuery tool site.
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
why doesn’t your website jeff-way.com work anymore?
Working on a redesign for the CI series.
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?
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!!!
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?
Nice tutorial.
