[MTOS-dev] JavaScript Holy Wars: Poll Style

[Bud Gibson]

I used it to teach a course last term, and I was pretty impressed.  The
thing that struck me was how it tied in to web standards and made it easy to
implement an unobtrusive javascript design pattern.  You don't even put
javascript event triggers in your html page.  Instead jQuery attaches these
after the page has loaded.  So, basically, by design you wind up with a
version of your page that works without javascript and another that works
with.  Very easy to do graceful degradation.

I highly recommend http://www.learningjquery.com/ for good tutorial
approaches.
