Book Reviews
Slashdot: "You will not find a better resource online for getting into the guts of the jQuery JavaScript library than you will offline reading the book Learning jQuery."
Brian Dillard: "Chaffer and Swedberg have provided an excellent introduction to the framework..."
Ben Nadel: "This book is all about the in-depth, iterative example! After every chapter, I found myself reflecting on how thorough and well done the examples were."
SkyFox: "If you are looking to start with jQuery or expand your knowledge base, these two books will suit you well."
This book begins with a tutorial to jQuery, followed by an examination of common, real-world client-side problems, and solutions for each of them making it an invaluable resource for answers to all your jQuery questions.
This book is for web designers who want to create interactive elements for their designs, and for developers who want to create the best user interface for their web applications.
The reader will need the basics of HTML and CSS, and should be comfortable with the syntax of JavaScript. No knowledge of jQuery is assumed, nor is experience with any other JavaScript libraries required.
