We’ve started using jQuery quite heavily to power our javascript widgets - without exception everyone who’s used it here has had their own little jQuery epiphany. It’s quite funny to watch, people tend to resist it to start with (particularly the hardcore coders) - but when they use it for a while and see how much pain it can save you they soon come round.

One thing that was missing until now though was a way of getting jQuery intellisense in VS2008. Yesterday I spotted this article by James Hart which describes how this missing functionality can be be added. You need to make sure that you have this Visual Studio 2008 Hotfix installed then follow the instructions in James’ article and as if by magic you’ll have intellisense for your jQuery code! This has gone down a treat here and looks set to make life an awful lot easier.
