jQuery

jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript Library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages. The philosophy is find things (e.g. $("a") to find links) and do stuff (e.g. $("a").click(...) to do something when clicking links). For me it seems to a nice way of developing JavaScript (Ajax) based applications. The OO feel is good, and it is easy to write compact and readable code. It is also well documented, and Learning jQuery is a nice place for other jQuery resources. A jQuery reference widget is also available. I might post more when I've actually tried it (the Live Examples of jQuery seems to be a nice place to start). [via]

Update: Interface is a collection of rich interface components which utilizes jQuery. [via]
