16 jQuery Typography Plugins for Web Developers
In the early days of world wide web, webpages didn’t have pictures at all… and that trend is coming back. Why? Because pictures don’t have the ability to adjust according to screen resolution, but text can squeeze, expand, move around, break and rejoin.
With the advent of responsive web design, typography based flat designs are gaining more and more popularity.
Everyone is focusing on ‘text based’ websites these these days. Experienced developers believe that ‘text’ is going to be all around us in in near future. That is because images, bitmaps (jpg, png) or vectors (svg, eps), create complications trying to remain device agnostic. But text objects are much easier to manage. They can be moved around, contain handlers and many types of effects… the text elements don’t lose quality.

Awesome jQuery Presentation Frameworks
Go a step ahead of slideshows and PowerPoint presentations, make jQuery based online presentations.
PowerPoint was the coolest software to use… but that was in the previous century. Today PowerPoint is just wondering about the reason for its existence.
This is the era of web. I remember in the 2000s, Flash presentations were becoming famous but then, just then jQuery hit the market and swept it. Since then onwards, jQuery slideshows have been the most impressive way to make slideshows. They offer much more functionality compared to other tools. You can customize them to look absolutely anything you want.
I should mention here that if you think jQuery presentations will only be something like slideshows…. you have no idea what jQuery can do.

One of the most famous plugins of jQuery is lightBox. This plugin has single-handedly revolutionized the science of creating photo galleries.
If you have even a little bit of experience in web development, you would have experience of working with lightBox.
Remember that while style is important, style should stay the same, or at least nearly same, on all the browsers, and even devices. So whenever you use such a plugin, don’t forget cross-browser testing.

10+ Free jQuery Preloader Plugins
jQuery Preloader helps us add interactivity and make the user experience better.
They keep the user engaged when he is actually at halt because the images or data is loading. This is the reason why clients very often demand a preloading animation on their website.
There are many kinds of preloaders. In the earlier days, flash based preloaders were the most obvious element but these days jQuery has taken over.
jQuery preloader plugins work charms and after the rise of CSS3, things have become fairly easy, yet staying stylish.
The only problem in all this is that Internet Explorer 8 is playing the villain’s role by not supporting many of the CSS3 animations. So when you use an animation from the following plugins, make sure to test in it all browsers before making it live.
