jQuery Love Fest Continues: Meet Peter Bell

Over the last year, I've posted about how top CF developers have been flocking to the jQuery javascript library. jQuery is truly an awesome piece of work and I can completely understand why their loving it; ease-of-use, awesome community, exceptional documentation, lightweight, & feature rich.

Add another hot name to the list of jQuery lovers. Peter Bell has jumped on the bandwagon and is loving jQuery. Now, make no mistake about it, Peter Bell knows his stuff. His posts range from dissecting frameworks to domain specific modeling. He posts about very advanced topics so when he says he likes jQuery, that speaks volumes to me.

I'm really happy to see Peter getting into jQuery and hope to see others in the CF community join in.

Now that Rob Gonda and I are cranking up development of AjaxCFC once again, which will inlude jQuery v1.2 under the hood, I think you'll be seeing more jQuery love around the corner.

If you're interested in learning more about jQuery, I've created a list of links that will hopefully help new jQuery users find the resources they need to get up-to-speed with the library:
