Every six months, a hot new framework hits the mainstream, and our community explodes with excitement.

Good developers and managers understand the concept of extensibility: implementing while considering future growth.

We continue where we left of with DOM Events Part 2! We'll outline default actions, event propagation phases, delegation and more as we piece together the basic building blocks for complex development in a browser.

Somedays it feels like JavaScript is always changing, and it is hard to keep up. It is even harder when you’ve spent countless hours, blood, sweat and tears to get your build tools working.

How events work in the DOM is a two part series we kick off this week! Learn about how DOM events are handled, common misunderstandings and more over the next two sessions.

We wrap up our dive into DOM elements this week with a look at how elements are laid out on a page. We'll discuss different element properties and jQuery methods to assist with finding an elements position, offset and dimensions as well as how to manipulate those properties.

Learn the difference between attributes and properties on a DOM element, how jQuery modifies these and how they are set in memory!

Following up with our sub-series into jQuery, we'll learn how to traverse the DOM, why this is efficient and a little bit of meta programming!

This week is the first in a sub-series where we break down jQuery to it's core. Build your own version of jQuery with us and gain insight into why this library is so powerful in modern applications!
