ASP.NET 4 Unleashed

Summary

In the first part of this chapter, you learned about the jQuery library and what it has to offer. You learned about the $(document).ready() event and how to select elements with the $() jQuery function.

In the next part, you learned how to call web services from the browser. You learned how to call a web method in an external web service and a static web method exposed from a server-side page.

jQuery is a powerful tool that makes it incredibly easy to add client-based functionality to your web applications with little code. We have barely scratched the surface of what jQuery can do—it is a great way to improve the user experience of your applications, so spend some time to learn everything it has to offer.
