In an incredibly generous move, jQuery star <a href="http://www.rebeccamurphey.com">Rebecca Murphey</a> has released the training materials she uses for her jQuery Fundamentals class under the <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/">Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States license</a>. This is a pretty significant contribution because developing good training material is very difficult and if you're looking to help get your staff or friends up to speed on <a href="http://jquery.com">jQuery</a>, this is a great foundation to build from. In fact, she seems to encourage it! Check this out:

<blockquote>You are free to copy, distribute, transmit, and remix this work, provided you attribute the work to Rebecca Murphey as the original author and reference the GitHub repository for the work. If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same, similar or a compatible license. Any of the above conditions can be waived if you get permission from the copyright holder. For any reuse or distribution, you must make clear to others the license terms of this work. The best way to do this is with a link to the license.</blockquote>

Seriously, that's a lot of flexibility and she's even set it up in a nicely package <a href="http://github.com/rmurphey/jqfundamentals">Github repo</a> for easy access. I looked it over and this does a great job of covering the basics of jQuery.

If you use her materials, definitely give her, at the very least, a shout-out during your training. She deserves it. 

I'm going to add this to my <a href="http://blog.reybango.com/2010/04/29/the-big-list-of-javascript-css-and-html-development-tools-libraries-projects-and-books/">list of awesome web development resources</a> since this is golden.

Thanks for the putting this out there, Rebecca!
