In the process of creating the new site I came across an amazing feature for the front page.  I want to create a "slider" that would showcase featured blog posts and portfolio items.  It can be a great way for visitors to see what I have created recently and hopefully create business leads.

First problem: I had no clue how to make it happen!

After a little research I learned that I can make my vision a reality with jQuery.

Second problem:  I had no clue how to use jQuery!

I did a little more scrounging around the interwebs and foud a great 16 part crash-course on jQuery that started from the absolute basics to building a CSS style-switcher.  The tutorial series can be found on NETTUTS.

So, I will be completing one part of the series each weeknight over the next 3 weeks.  I figure that this will be a great investment of my time so that I can better serve my future clients.

Tell you what.  After going through each day's tutorial, I will post a demo of what I learned to the website.  Keep on the lookout for links to the demos.

Don't know about jQuery either? Check out the site: http://jquery.com/
