jQuery for absolute beginners

I came across some jQuery video tutorials which explain how to use it very clearly from a beginners perspective. The tutorials are split up over around 15 days, so you don’t feel overwhelmed with using jQuery.

A big thanks goes to Jeffrey Way from ThemeForest.net, for creating an excellent set of tutorials.
