If you needed another reason to use jQuery, it’s here

Here at home with personal projects I haven’t yet reached the javascript stage of development on any projects I’m working on. So far it’s just been prototyping and interface design, so I’ve been able to site back and read up on Javascript libraries. Lucky I did because the end all reason to use jQuery in Coldfusion was released today as Rob Gonda announced the Ajax CFC for jQuery Alpha Release earlier today. I’ve liked everything I’ve seen of AjaxCFC, especially since there is quite a bit of support for Model Glue around the AjaxCFC community as well. Looks like this will knock out the last straw holding me to using Prototype. I’m looking forward to trying it out!

    Glad to hear you’re checking out jQuery, Adam! If you need some help with the basics, take a look at my Learning jQuery blog.

    Also, the jQuery community is fantastic — smart, helpful, quick to respond. You can sign up for the mailing list on the jquery.com website.

    Ah looks like a couple of good places to get started! I’m very impressed with the jQuery community, and just the amount of documentation written by so many people. Makes it that much easier for new people to jump in!
