Summary
In this chapter, we have further investigated several techniques that can assist us in designing beautiful animations that are helpful to our users. We can now individually control the acceleration and deceleration of each property we are animating, and halt these animations individually or globally if needed. We learned about the properties jQuery's effects library defines internally and the way to change some of them to suit our needs. We also made our first foray into the jQuery deferred object system, which we will explore further in Chapter 13.
