jQuery, my new toy

Perhaps I am a bit behind in the times, but after reading over some blog posts I decided it was time to quit procrastinating and finally look over the documentation for jQuery. After reading the docs, viewing the sample applications, and seeing the sample code the only thing going through my mind was "Why the heck didn't I check this out sooner?!?"

In my defense, the name is kinda a misnomer. That is the only excuse I could muster. However, I have decided that 2008 is going to be the year I expand my horizons, so this is in line with my New Year resolutions. I have not yet looked at some of the other javascript libraries, such as prototype, but that is coming.

I will post some of my n00b first impressions later.

Took you long enough! :D Let me know if you have any questions as I'm part of the jQuery project team.

If you haven't already I'd hop on the jQuery mailing list. Good group and lots of CFers on there...

I'll second (third? fourth?) the jQuery recommendation. jQuery makes a fine, fine mistress. You won't go wrong with it. And yeah, there are quite a few ColdFusion users on the jQuery list. More and more each day it seems like.

Thanks guys. I've been playing around with it today and really it amazes me how much easier it makes lots of common tasks.

@Ray: Thank you, I appreciate that very much
@Jim: I will definitely check that out
@Scott: I think I just shot Mt. Dew out of my nose
