Many of these "trinkets" come with their jquery and javascript already "bundled in", so writing these complex bits of code is thankfully done for you in many instances.
What you DO need to know, however, is WHERE in the whole "structure" of the file system, you must put these things, and what (minor) edits may be needed to certain files (usually header.php files) in order to "kick" the trinket into life, when you want it to function in your setup.
A concise explanation of how to do this is in :
/docs/read_me_jscript.html (the docs folder is bundled with a set of zencart software).
Start by reading this information.
Also, look on the www for javascript and jquery add-ons (that can be added to any site). See what they entail, and try to fathom out how the JS drives the function. It is usually accompanied by snippets of HTML which need to be embedded into a page (or element).
If you find (on the www) a nice Jquery/JS trinket, and you don't feel you are up to the task of embedding it, post for help in Commercial Help Wanted and point to the trinket that intertests you.
