  To be honest, I really only used the jQuery site. The tutorials listed on their site are great to get something semi-functional, and I already knew HTML design so I could sort of throw things in tables to put them where I want them. I'm learning CSS3 now, so hopefully future projects will look a little prettier. I think this is one of the tutorials I used (if not, something similar): http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Getting_Started_with_jQuery http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Getting_Started_with_jQuery The jQuery docs themselves provide in-depth examples and live demos, as well as well-written docs. The ones I found particularly useful were .get() for requesting PHP pages (although sleepyti.me doesn't use this) or loading dynamic data, .val() to check the value of an input and .html() (and append()) to append HTML to values in the document. fadeIn() and fadeOut() are nice for bringing pages into and out of view. All in all, I was extremely impressed with how easy jQuery was to learn, and I'd recommend it to anyone with any kind of a development background looking to get into web design. If you have any questions, I've had excellent luck with simply searching stackoverflow.com. There's an answer for pretty much everything you could need on there :)
