How to Make a Smooth Animated Menu with jQuery | Build Internet! Ever seen some excellent jQuery navigation that left you wanting to make one of your own? Today we’ll aim to do just that by building a menu and animate it with some smooth effects. The Goal – One Smooth Menu Here’s a demo of what we’ll end up with by the end. Introduction – An explanation of easing The menu has such a smooth animation because of a thing called “easing”. “The term easing refers to gradual acceleration or deceleration during an animation, which helps your animations appear more realistic. Thanks to the magic of the jQuery Easing plugin, we can now use easing outside of Flash and Actionscript environments. Step 1 – Set up the Structure Before starting with any jQuery, we’ve got to build a quick menu structure with XHTML and load in the required project files. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Then copy in this menu structure into the body: Menu items have a class assigned to it that will designate the color of the block. Step 3 – Style with CSS Step 4 – Animate with jQuery
Overlay-like Effect with jQuery A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now. Vapour around me When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary. O my friend -- but it is too much for my strength -- I sink under the weight of the splendour of these visions! I am so happy, my dear friend I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I sink under the weight

Le serveur a bien démarré, tout est en ordre ! Effectivement, disposer d’un environnement Ruby on Rails complet sous Linux est l’affaire de quelques lignes de commandes bien placées. Ensuite, nous allons installer RubyGems, sorte de répertoire de paquets contenant des extensions pour le langage Ruby. Nous parlerons plus longuement des Gems dans un prochain article, mais en attendant, il nous faut maintenant passer à l’action. Et voilà, vous disposez maintenant de RubyGems ! Vous allez maintenant me dire : mais le serveur web ? Sous Windows, à l’aide de RubyStack. Utilisons MySQL
