Getting started with jQuery

What is a good place to start playing with jQuery, besides the jQuery website. I'm having trouble with the way the site is set up - I dislike it.

Official document is not always that easy to grasp. I found this to be extremely useful resource for learning jquery:

http://15daysofjquery.com/

Yet another site, dedicated to jQuery, I found very useful for me - visualjquery.com. One of the creators of this site is also author of the great book "jQuery in Action"(Yehuda Katz).

As for me, resource is well orginized and extremely handy.

One of the best ways to learn it is go through the tutorials and actually write the code from scratch, don't just read them. Also look at some problems you want to solve using jQuery and try a few different approaches to solving them to find all the different ways it allows you to work. jQuery is very rich and there's more than one way to skin your site...I mean cat.

I would recommend a few resources, both by members of the jQuery core team:

  1. Learning jQuery Website
  2. jQuery Enlightenment e-book ($15 at time of writing)

Disclaimer: I was provided a free copy of jQuery Enlightenment to review. I personally feel it is well worth the $15, and the code samples in the book are plenteous and very clear.
