| Wonderful book at connecting the dots. | Rating:  |
OK... we have all heard jQuery is the in library from someone somewhere. Yet, it does so much and it does it differently. How do we shift gears and get into the library. This book is well thought out and covers the basics and beyond in a very friendly fashion. I want more details than can be contained in a book of this size, lol. We all want the books to cost less and contain more. But one of the key ways I rate books is how well did the concepts of the book sink into my brain on the first read, and how often do I take the book off the shelf for 'instant refreshers'. This book is top quality on both those areas.

| Use JavaScript the easy way with jQuery | Rating:  |
I've used JavaScript for 9 years and have hated the way it needs to be developed differently for different browsers. And there are the little gotchas that take way too long to run down in forums. Enter jQuery.
The jQuery JavaScript library takes the pain out of using JavaScript. It handles the browsers and leaves us free to simply add functionality to websites in a logical and consistent way. Learning jQuery teaches jQuery in a best practices manner without preaching and makes adding interactivity to sites reasonable. I don't have to throw in the towel on JavaScript and resort to page the reloads that a server side solution would demand.
I can't imagine a better introduction to jQuery. Learning jQuery is well thought out and paced. Concepts are presented in increasing complexity with plenty of excellent examples. Working through this book gave me a solid foundation in jQuery and the confidence to experiment with my own needs. Few programming books are so well written. The example code is high quality, too with few typos or errors. |

| The second and last javascript book you will ever need | Rating: |
I call this the second javascript book that you will ever need because you will first need some background and understanding in javascript such as from: Simply JavaScript. However, once you begin working with Javascript you'll find yourself wishing for an easier way to accomplish numerous tedious tasks. The solution is jQuery an open source javascript library that is supported by a sharp team of developers. Jquery uses an OOPS approach to many common tasks and provides a framework to accomplish in 1 or 2 lines of code what would take dozens using javascript alone.
Although Jquery is pretty straightforward the online forums and documentation aren't always clear and directions for someone starting out in Jquery aren't the best. That is why I bought this book and it has been an incredible help to me by giving me a structured, ordered and organized explanation of what Jquery can do. You'll find yourself savings plenty of time with it and expand your javascript capabilities exponentially. |
