This library's goal is to simplify the process of writing JavaScript code that is compatible with all web browsers. [1] For his work on jQuery he was inducted into the Rochester Institute of Technology's Innovation Hall of Fame on April 30, 2010. [2]
Resig is the author of the book Pro JavaScript Techniques, published by Apress in 2006.[3][4]. As of 2010, he is working on another book for Manning Publications, Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja, which the publisher plans to release in 2011[5][6].
Resig has also started or contributed to many other JavaScript libraries, including FUEL, a Firefox plugin development kit, [7] Processing.js, a port of the Processing language, and SizzleJS[8], which enhances CSS selectors. [9]
Resig is a frequent guest speaker at companies like Google and Yahoo and has presented at many conferences related to web technology, including SXSW, Webstock, MIX, and Tech4Africa.[10][11][12]
