It should probably be mentioned in the slides that console.log will break IE. Use log (not builtin) if you want to be safe: http://paulirish.com/2009/log-a-lightweight-wrapper-for-cons...

This was awesome... made me remember every single facepalm I experienced while learning jquery. :)

With the caveats from the previous comments, I'd recommend this to every web developer-in-training. Thanks for putting this together; this could save many people many hours.

As an aside, one of the slides discusses using jQuery "live" method - This was deprecated with jQuery 1.7 http://api.jquery.com/live/ Use ".on" instead.

Meh, I'll just stick to alerts. It's been working since the beginning of time... 5 years.
