PROS CONS

No Server Deployment Requires YOU to code it

No Need For Enterprise Features

Complex Interconnectivity –

Multiple Pieces

Extremely Customizable YOU maintain it

SharePoint Design starts on the whiteboard, not the keyboard

• I am not attempting to promote specific jQuery plugins

• I am not going to write all the code live……too boring

• Every situational use of jQuery is completely different…ignore my ‘situational code’ as I show the creation of this dashboard

• jQuery .js file must be referenced into the page ALWAYS

• jQuery has ability to load plugins – there is a plugin for just about EVERYTHING

• jQuery also makes it easy to create your own plugins

• jQuery .js file must be referenced into the page AND the .js file for the plugin

• Almost ALL plugins have their own website or at least a project on GitHub.com

• These websites will include an API for their plugin, making it VERY easy to implement new plugins
