Summary
In this chapter, we have seen how the functionality that is provided by the jQuery core need not limit the library's capabilities. In addition to the readily available plugins we explored in Chapter 7, Using Plugins, we now know how to extend the menu of features ourselves.
The plugins we've created contain various features, including global functions that use the jQuery library, new methods of the jQuery object for acting on DOM elements, and sophisticated jQuery UI widgets. With these tools at our disposal, we can shape jQuery—and our own JavaScript code—into whatever form we desire.
