This Week in jQuery, vol. 6
Another week, another collection of links to some of the most interesting and exciting new jQuery happenings around the web.
One of the most interesting happenings this week was the release of Glimmer. Glimmer allows you to easily create interactive elements on your web pages by harnessing the power of the jQuery library. Without having to hand-craft your JavaScript code, you can use Glimmer’s wizards to generate jQuery scripts for common interactive scenarios. Glimmer also has an advanced mode, providing a design surface for creating jQuery effects based on your existing HTML and CSS.
Also worth mentioning is the great new facelift given to the jQuery for Designers site from Remy Sharp.
And if you haven’t notice Wrox has released a new book, Beginning JavaScript and CSS Development with jQuery. A review of the book is forthcoming.

Glimmer — And just to *watch the video* on the first page, I’ve got to install Microsoft’s proprietary Silverlight which doesn’t even work well on my platform (Linux) — no Glimmer for me, thank you.
