By reviewing all 32 official team websites. You are free to judge my party prowess based on this, but I would beg you not to.

Unfortunately, my fun was spoiled when I actually got a look at the websites. I expected similar layouts for each team going in, after all, that would be the cost effective way for the NFL to maintain these sites. What I didn’t expect was the all-around mediocrity these professional organizations (that bring in millions and millions of dollars) would bring to the table. Some were of course more notable than others, so in this post I will bring you only the most interesting 5.

Today, we will discuss about one such code library named jQuery. It is an open source, is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.
