HTML5 Web Components: Moving from jQuery to Polymer.js

Course Overview
Well hello, this Craig Shoemaker, and welcome to HTML5 Web Components: Moving from jQuery to Polymer. js. We know the web has changed in so many ways in recent years, but not all of our existing projects have followed suit. In this course you learn to upgrade an existing jQuery site to introduce web components. And fear not, the approach used here doesn't assume that you'll do the whole site at once. In fact, I'll show you how you can take just a single feature and make it a full-fledged web component. Right at the beginning of the course you'll learn how to think of your website in terms of components, and you'll get to experience the transformation of everyday jQuery code in to a Polymer. js component. As with any transformation the change is a journey, and during these lessons you'll follow the process of removing jQuery, implementing the feature as a native web component, and finally, refactoring the code to use Polymer. js. By the end of course you'll have encapsulated all the logic for the navigation feature into a web component. Plus, you'll learn to use the Shadow DOM, take advantage of style isolation, build custom templates, and harness the power of Polymer's templating engine. Now this is a hands-on and very practical course where you can take the principles presented here and use them immediately in your projects. I truly look forward to our time together, and I'll see you inside HTML5 Web Components: Moving from jQuery to Polymer. js.
