This brought a huge smile to my face just now because your blog is running on http://jekyllbootstrap.com =D Very nice implementation of 'the minimum' theme by Yuya Saito as well. Sorry if this is off-topic, I'm just happy to see your blog exist.

Thank you! I basically set it up in under two hours, and another hour of modifying for discuss, analytics, styling and so on. Super-easy to set up, so thank you! Oh, and I had never ever written a line of Ruby before so it was all news to me. :)

I've started a re-implementation using the the Minimum-theme layout as base, will let you know if it ever gets "good enough", I missed a few things; Concatenation and minifying of resources would be cool to have in the bootstrap, I followed this but it required some modification and I haven't really gotten it to work flawlessly yet: http://mikeferrier.com/2011/04/29/blogging-with-jekyll-haml-...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

By this logic, you will never need technical books, only manuals. I think a introduction could be great for someone who is beginner and want to start from the ground up. If you send them to api.jquery.com, they will get completely lost. You are understimating the amount of knowledge required to get started with jQuery (you have to know HTML, CSS selectors, JavaScript and then the actual jQuery)

I, for one, am happy this link appeared here. I am one of those: know a bit of CSS, a bit of HTML, a bit of JavaScript and I want to know what this jQuery stuff is all about. Going to the API? Nope, I'd assume this takes at least an afternoon; which I don't have.

I'm in the same situation and I think this blog post is useful.

If anyone is interested in learning more about jquery, tutsplus has a series of videos that will give you a solid foundation in jQuery: http://tutsplus.com/course/30-days-to-learn-jquery/

Agreed. The tutsplus series was useful for me because you can watch someone code web pages from a blank editor using jQuery along with HTML/CSS. As a hacker without a programming background, I loved it because it's not too advanced, yet you learn powerful concepts you can immediately start hacking with.

You should use CodeKit(http://incident57.com/codekit/). You can concatenate, minify and even optimize images with it. I've use it while I was making Minimum-theme. Thank you for using minimum-theme.

Oh, great! Thank you! I will take a look at it when I come home. Great work on the Minimum theme, looked wonderful out of the box. :)
