[jQuery] rookies in jQuery and grid

Hi,
i'm newbie to jQuery however i watched those videos on internet and it seems that jQuery is a very powerful library now.
i have a grid/table that i would like to create using jQuery, it would be a wonderful try from my side. I know that some tables and grids plug-ins already exist but i want to try by my own.
1. what should i take care to create my own plug-in using jQuery ?
2. where should i look for to base my grid with basic features (sorted columns, filtering columns, pagination, and so on...) ?
I'm looking for some basic tutorial or helps.
thanks a lot,<br clear="all">
