First Things First

Oh, no! Not another blog! More junk to follow, etc., etc.

That's how I figured you, the audience, might see this little effort. But I hope to make this blog a little bit different by putting first things first.

When it comes to developing web apps, the user experience comes first. After all, if the user doesn't like it, it won't be used--so much for the greatest web app in history.

In similar fashion, when it comes to blogs about programming, I think what matters is *what* the thing does--how it does it is really secondary (though often very valuable) information.

So that's what I intend to do: offer examples of jQuery in action, then take apart the code to see what's under the hood. The first part should appeal to you if you just want a new widget to add to an app; the second part is for those who want to explore jQuery more than they've had a chance to yet.

So that's it. Please feel free to drop comments, tell your friends, ask questions, and generally be part of the "thing". We're all friends here.
