85+ Cool jQuery Effects Roundup


jquery-effects
jQuery effects are used more or less all over the Internet today. Just a few years ago Flash was dominating the scene for interactive and dynamic websites. The arrival of JavaScript libraries like jQuery have made it a lot easier to do advanced stuff with JavaScript, but of course the fact that Apple didn’t let Flash into their iPhones and iPads may also have pushed the development in this direction. Further the mobile movement have also helped speed up the adoption of HTML5 and as an example Canvas Animation is opening up for a lot of possibilities when it comes to developing dynamic effects in a standard way.  There are even countless examples of HTML5 games available online showing us the capabilities of these rather new technologies.
Enough about HTML5 here. You should check out some HTML5 tutorials if you have still haven’t jumped the HTML5-wagon. Here in this article we will focus on jQuery effects in various categories. Many of these jQuery effects plugins, tutorials etc. are very useful and should be simple to use. If I missed any cool resources then please let me know in a comment!
