Introduction

Since the main goal of this series of articles is to cover the principal features of this library, in the last tutorial I left off discussing how to use it to build some basic Ajax applications. We did this by making use of jQuery's "get()," "post()" and "ajax()" methods.

In addition, I demonstrated how to manipulate the visibility of certain elements within a web document by means of the "show()" and "hide()" methods, which can be pretty useful for creating dynamic user interfaces.

Nonetheless, the "jQuery" framework also comes with a neat set of additional methods aimed specifically at creating some attractive visual effects. You might find this appealing, particularly if you need to develop rich Internet applications on a frequent basis.

Thus, if you're interested in learning how to work with this group of visual effects using jQuery, in this last part of the series I'm going to provide you with some illustrative examples that will help you master the animation module of the library.

Are you ready to tackle this final chapter of this educational journey? Let's jump in!
