Much of the initial content - and spirit - comes from [jQuery Fundamentals](https://github.com/rmurphey/jqfundamentals), an open-source book about jQuery, originally written by [Rebecca Murphey](http://www.rmurphey.com/) and released in 2010. In 2011, Rebecca [bequeathed the book](http://rmurphey.com/blog/2011/03/17/the-future-of-jquery-fundamentals-and-a-confession/) unto the jQuery Foundation to serve as the basis for this site.
