So I've got three digital copies of my book, "Beginning jQuery", to give away!

Please note: this is aimed at folks who have written little-to-no JavaScript or jQuery. If that's not you, please don't try and win a copy! I'd like the copies to go to people who will really find them useful.

To win, you need to email me ( jack at jackfranklin dot net ) and answer these three questions, all of which are easily answered via Google.

1. At which Bar Camp did John Resig reveal the first version of what would become jQuery?
2. What is jQuery's tagline? (Hint: four words, prominent on the jQuery home page)
3. Who is the executive director of the jQuery Project?

 if(x > 5) {
   someFunc():

// what are the key differences between:

var foo = function() {
  alert("Hello World");
};

// and

function foo() {
  alert("Hello World");

a = "foo" && b = "bar"
a = ("foo" && b = "bar")
"bar"
# returns "bar"
a == "bar" # true

a = "foo" and b = "bar"
(a = "foo") and b = "bar"
"bar"
# returns "bar"
