Product Description

In this book, the creators of the popular jQuery learning resource, learningquery.com, share their knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm to bring you a comprehensive reference to the popular JavaScript library. This book is for web developers who want a broad, organized view of all the jQuery library has to offer or a quick reference on their desks to refer to for particular details. The reader needs the basics of HTML and CSS, and should be comfortable with the syntax of JavaScript, but no knowledge of jQuery is assumed. This is not an introductory title and if you are looking to get started with jQuery (or JavaScript libraries in general) then you are looking for Learning jQuery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful, a must have for any jQuery developers bookshelf, 27 Nov 2007

By	M. Jolley "mikejolley" (England, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A good reference book needs a good structure and an even better index; the jQuery reference guide has just that.

The book is aimed developers with a basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, and an understanding of the syntax of JavaScript; no jQuery experience is needed or assumed, however I feel a little understanding of jQuery is useful to get you started, even though the introduction covers the basics. The book is particularly useful for forgetful developers like me, for quickly looking up functions.

Each section of the book is clearly labelled and well organized just like the jQuery online documentation, however, the book goes into much more detail than the online manual, and is much more useful if you have never used a particular function before since it explains and expands on usage scenarios.

The index is great; first, an alphabetical list of functions which is useful when you need to look up something fast, then a list of everything else in the book. This book makes it so much easier to find what you need than the website; the website has no obvious list of all functions, and the search often fails to find certain functions such as "each()".

Like "Learning jQuery", the language used in the book is clear and easy to understand, its quite well formatted also as an added bonus. The few screen shots there are, aren't too great, so its a good idea to check out the accomplying website for more examples on the tutorials in the book.

I love this book, the only thing that lets in down in my eyes is that a few functions are outdated with the new release of jQuery 1.2.1, this book was written for jQuery 1.1.2. However, this only effects a few functions and features, such as the XPath selectors which were dropped in the new version, so I'd still recommend it for reference.

In conclusion, if you use jQuery and you frequently find yourself looking at the online documentation when your stuck, get this book! It will help tremendously.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent JQuery book, 15 Oct 2009

By	Konstantinos Tsiknas (Greece) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was trying to learn JQuery on the fly by looking it up on the internet. Nothing compares to reading a good book though. This is a very good book, I read it in 2 weekends and now I'm rocking :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Is what it promises, 3 Jul 2009

By	A. Kauppi (Finland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found the book good, and worth the purchase.

It gives a walkthrough of the features, and - most importantly - of the mindset behind the jQuery API. At places, it is repetitive but this is understandable for a reference manual. You are supposed to be able to "jump in" at any point and get all the valuables about that particular feature.

Good book, and jQuery is a good JavaScript library.
