SharePoint-Videos.com: JavaScript and jQuery for SharePoint 2013 Training – Online Class
Next Thursday, May 23rd, 2013, I’ll be teaching a class for SharePoint-Videos.com called “JavaScript and jQuery for SharePoint 2013”. It’s an online class that is available to everyone, but it’s filling up fast.
This will be my first class fully focused on jQuery with SharePoint 2013, and I’ve had a lot of fun putting it together. SharePoint 2013 is more geared for great client-side programming opportunities than prior versions. Adding these development techniques to your toolkit can really help solve business requirements and improve the SharePoint user experience.
Here’s the registration link if you’d like to join us, and the class outline is below.
