Creating a polaroid photo viewer with CSS3 and jQuery
Placing pictures on simple polaroids on a webpage simply didn’t do it for me. I wanted to drag them around, rotate them and still have a fun time. That’s were CSS and jQuery come in play.

When it’s placed down, it’s rotated to the left or the right (random).

Building a jQuery Image Scroller
In this tutorial, we’re going to be building an image scroller, making use of jQuery’s excellent animation features and generally having some fun with code. Image scrollers are of course nothing new; versions of them come out all the time.
