jQuery UI contains many widgets that maintain state and therefore have a slightly different usage pattern than typical jQuery plugins. All of jQuery UI's widgets use the same patterns, so if you learn how to use one, then you'll know how to use all of them.

jQuery UI contains many widgets that maintain [state](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_%28computer_science%29) and therefore may have a slightly different usage pattern than typical jQuery plugins you are already used to. While the initialization is the same as most jQuery plugins, jQuery UI's widgets are built on top of the [Widget Factory](/jquery-ui/widget-factory/) which provides the same general API to all of them. So if you learn how to use one, then you'll know how to use all of them! This document will walk you through the common functionality, using the [progressbar](http://jqueryui.com/progressbar/) widget for the code examples.

The jQuery UI Widget Factory is an extensible base on which all of jQuery UI's widgets are built. Using the widget factory to build a plugin provides conveniences for state management, as well as conventions for common tasks like exposing plugin methods and changing options after instantiation.
