If you still haven’t found out, then lend me an ear, because here’s the answer. It’s done with jQuery.

So what is jQuery? As you probably know, there’s JavaScript – a scripting language, but Query is just a branch. jQuery is used to make easier the effects and interaction with the development code and works just like JavaScript. Released in January 2006, it gains popularity pretty quickly as it’s a nice technology that helps making the websites over the internet more interactive and fun. Also it takes less code than with JavaScript to create effects like drop down menus, animations, drag and drop elements and form validation.

So, as it is easy and simple to use, needs less coding and creates interesting and beautiful effects, why not try making a slider with your recent products to put on your website? Here are 20+ of the most useful jQuery content slider scripts and tutorials. Hope to have inspired at least some of you and soon we will see more sites that are interactive and client oriented, saving space and showcasing their offer into nicely designed sliders.
