Hi folks,
What about some sort of interactive "about" or "quick tour" page? I
imagine something like this:
The page loads with a simple jQuery logo. When you click it (or after
a short wait if the user can't figure out how to click ;-] ) a
div#info slideDown()s containing a short description, I dunno,
something like:
"jQuery is the
* coolest
* most concise
* most capable
* most intuitive
Javascript library around!"
Or something. =]
Simultaneously, on the left the code which called the effect appears:
$(document).ready(function(){ $('#info').slideDown() } ) ;
The starred elements in that list would be a <ul>, and then that could
be used to demonstrate selectors:
"jQuery makes it a snap to [select] elements and then [change them] in
a way that will be familiar to anyone who knows CSS!"
[select] is a link, which shows code like: $('ul') in the code panel.
[change] is another link, which will convert that list from a <ul> to
an <ol>...
And so on -- plugins could be demonstrated, Ajax stuff, whatever.
It seems to me that something like that would be a great way to show
off what jQuery can do, in an interesting, memorable way that newbies
might actually feel compelled to click all the way through.
