jQuery for Designers - screencasts and tutorials

Image Cross Fade Transition

A frequent query and request I receive (and have myself) as a developer is: "how can I fade one image in to another?". In particular, image rollovers are so 90s - we want rollover transitions!

Coda Popup Bubbles

Coda is one of the new web development tools for the Mac - and it's popular amongst designers and developers I know. Panic (the developers of Coda) are also known for their sharp design. In particular, Jorge Mesa writes to ask how to re-create their 'puff' popup bubble shown when you mouse over the download image. In essence the effect is just a simple combination of effect, but there's a few nuances to be wary of.

Slider Gallery

The Apple web site 'product slider' is similar to a straight forward gallery, except that there is a slider to navigate the items, i.e. the bit the user controls to view the items. Simple stuff. jQuery already has the plugins to create these effects so we don't have to go about creating them ourselves from scratch.

Image Loading

This tutorial will show how to load images in the background, and once loaded handle the event and create your own response. This is similar to the lightbox effect, except we have full control of the load event.

jQuery Tabs - part 2
