Skill Bar with jQuery & CSS3

Today I am going to tell you how to create simple animated Skill Bar / Progress Bar in two lines of jQuery code.

The skill bar  gives you an opportunity to show visitors to your site how qualified you and your teams are. Add a skill title, percentage of proficiency, and a color (hex value). It’s a quick and colorful way to showcase your knowledge about you and your team.
