Hi Karl, Love your blog! It's made a huge difference in wrapping my head around jquery.
Some suggestions for tutorials: * An example of how to use XPATH. The style switcher on Kevin's blog -- http://www.kelvinluck.com/article/switch-stylesheets-with-jquery -- is a very slick use of XPATH, and more help for newbies such as myself in understanding what else you can do with XPATH would be great. * An example that talks about strategies for using jquery if you're using a content management system. For example, the CMS's I use at work, I can make a change to to a page's template once in a long while -- not uncommon for folks who do web work these days. I can certainly add a HEAD include for jquery itself and any plug-ins or homemade libraries I use consistantly. But if I want to, say, put a calculator or a small effect or use a plugin on just one page, most newbies like myself would end up including the javascript inside the page (bleh). A tutorial could show how with just a few lines of code you could dynamically include the javascript file you need for just one page -- at least that's what I'm going to try after seeing the Discuss thread about dynamically including style sheets * As someone else suggested, something on forms -- maybe doing it yourself a little, then doing it with a forms plug-in. * An example of how to start creating your own plug-ins. One of the really nice things I learned when picking up Python a few years ago is that if someone holds your hand and walks you through learning how to modularize your code early on, you're much more likely to start with good habits. * A short post on best practices that might not be obvious to a newbie I'm too green to write tutorials just yet. But I'm happy to help review & offer feedback on any drafts you do, if it's useful to you.
