In this tutorial, we will be making a simple product search engine. Using jQuery and PHP, we will tap into Google’s Shopping Search API and return a list of items available for purchase, along with prices, photos and other useful information. The Shopping Search API gives us direct access to Google’s large database of products and prices, obtained from partnering online stores. Another benefit to using this service, is that products are automatically ranked and filtered for us behind the scenes to better match with the user’s search query.

jGravity : A jQuery plugin to Add Gravity to your Site
jGravity adds gravity to either all or specified elements within a page. Using the plugin is as easy as $(‘body’).jGravity(); which will use default settings to apply the gravity effect, which I think you will find quite similar to how Google presented ‘Google Gravity’ in an earlier Google easter egg.
I created this plugin because it simply didn’t exist. I wanted a gravity type of effect for a current project and searching was very frustrating with little results.
VenScrollBar : A jQuery Scrollbar Plugin
VenScrollBar is a jQuery plugin that allows web designers to replace the ugly, default OS scrollbar with custom ones that they create.

CodingJack’s jQuery 3D Carousel
CodingJack’s 3D Carousel is a Real 3D using CSS3 3D Transforms carousel plugin with jQuery,Html5 & Css3
The carousel is supported on iOS and Android and includes touch swipe functionality. It looks great on a tablet and will even work on a smartphone. But because the carousel can appear small on smaller screens, I’ve included two special options for smartphones:
- Option to display a thumbnail grid instead (the “fallback” presentation)
- Option to transform the grid fallback into a responsive layout. View either preview from your phone for an example.

jStat : jQuery statistical library
jStat is a statistical library written in JavaScript that allows you to perform advanced statistical operations without the need of a dedicated statistical language (i.e. MATLAB or R). The majority of jStat functions can be used independently of any other libraries. However, the plotting functionality of jStat is based on the jQuery plugin – flot.
jStat uses numerous advanced statistical functions that require considerable processing power. This requirement results in differing user experiences depending upon your browser choice. Currently, the fastest browser is Google Chrome. However, most browsers provide satisfactory performance, with the exception of Internet Explorer which has a significant performance hit.
