In jQuery Projects: Creating an Interactive Photo Gallery, author Chris Converse develops an interactive photo gallery for a web site using HTML, CSS, and the open-source javascript library jQuery. The course begins with tutorials on extracting different-sized images sets from an original photo collection, designing the site layout, and constructing the HTML and CSS. Then, following the progressive enhancement strategy, Chris utilizes javascript plug-ins to include lightboxes and other types of interactivity while maintaining backwards compatibility with older browsers and devices. Exercise files accompany the course. 99
