About this event

$() Turns 20: The Reunion

Remember the web before the dollar sign? Cast your mind back two decades - a time of document.getElementById, wrestling with browser inconsistencies (hello, IE6!), and writing verbose JavaScript just to make a simple dropdown menu work. Then came jQuery, and with the magic of $(), web development suddenly felt... simpler. It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since that revolution. Join us for the jQuery Reunion, a special 20th-anniversary celebration of the library that changed everything!
