I want to do something like this: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/11/12/health/20121111_vegetarian...
for an artist portfolio site.
Now, I can create the gird view easily - it's just dynamically loading the full node on click that I'm not sure on next steps.
Any pointes on how to execute something like this? Don't need a tutorial, just an outline of a approach.

Looks to me like a grid view and a slide show view on the same page with some js/jquery to wire up the interaction between them.

Ahh ok
So
1. Create the two views - I can do that.
2. js/jquery to create the functionality - a little out of my skill set.
Any suggested resources (tutorials) which would help with the js/jquery.
One of my obvious concerns is the weight of the slideshow view - I'm guessing I'd need lazy load that content - any thoughts on how best to implement that?
Thanks

Not sure where to find the best jquery tutorials these days-- i learned with the book 'Drupal 6 JavaScript and jQuery' but I don't think it's been updated for d7 though the jquery stuff hasn't changed, the drupal part has.
And lazy loading would involve ajax-- and, unfortunately, if js/jquery is not in your skillset, then neither will ajax. And it's not something you can give a click recipe for in a forum thread.
There might be some views based slideshow that already incorporate ajax loading, but I'm not sure. The only one I know of off the top of my head is views_slideshow_ajax, but there's no update for d7.
sorry that's not more helpful, but I just don't think there's a good answer in this case-- you pretty much have to decide if you want to learn jquery/ajax (non trivial) or hire someone to do it for you.

No, very helpful
For me - it's all a matter of working out the ingredients necessary and working my way through them.
I need to add basic js/jquery to my skillset regardless - just depends if this project allows time for it.
Cheers
Here's another example

Replicating something like this might be a bit more easier. It doesn't load a node, but has the content hidden in the article and displays on click. Still have to implement the js/jquery - but it should be a bit easier with an application like this.
