Description

jQuery is a feature-rich JavaScript library that makes HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a variety of browsers. With a combination of versatility and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript. jQuery solves the problems of DOM manipulation, event detection, AJAX calls, element selection and document queries, element attribute and data management, as well as object management utilities. This book addresses these problems and shows you how to make the best of jQuery through the various design patterns available. The book starts off with a refresher to jQuery and will then take you through the different design patterns such as facade, observer, publisher/subscriber, and so on. We will also go into client-side templating techniques and libraries, as well as some plugin development patterns. Finally, we will look into some best practices that you can use to make the best of jQuery.

Who is this book for?

This book is for existing jQuery Developers or new developers who want to get an understanding of the “correct way” to build jQuery applications, using best practices and industry standard patterns.

What you will learn

* Respond to user actions
* Achieve greater flexibility and code decoupling
* Have a central point for emitting and receiving application level events
* Structure the application into small independent modules

Absolutely well written and explains a lot of the patterns used in the industry linked directly to jQuery's implementation. Breaks down key concepts and has a very fluid flow of information with the examples implemented in the book. Nice easy read too. Thanks Thodoris Greasidis.BSO

After reading the book, i have to confess that i feel much more comfortable when dealing with front-end issues.The author, following a great flow in every single chapter, provides you the way you have to think before startingto develop the front-end part of your web application.Included, you will find "ready-to-run" parts of code which will help you easily endorse the best practices using jQuery.To conclude, i find the book a must-read for every web developer who wants to learn how to set things up the right waywith the power of jQuery.

This book is a great resource for those looking to deepen their knowledge of jQuery and Javascript.Though the topics covered could be considered fairly advanced, the author does an excellent job explaining how and where the various patterns and techniques can be used, giving practical examples and in many cases going out of his way to shed light on the internals of jQuery, which is great if you are concerned about performance, or just curious about how things such as method overloading are implemented.Best practices for creating jQuery plugins could not be absent from this book, as expected, and are followed again by simple-to-follow examples and boilerplate code.The book does not stop at covering jQuery patterns however: hot topics such as ES6, memory management, DOM manipulation performance & client side templating are also covered.All in all, this a must read for any web developer. It will help you use jQuery in a more effective and productive way, and -given that many of the lessons learned by this book apply to other programming environments as well- become better at the craft of producing code.

I found this book to be an exceptionally useful tool for the web developers who want to upgrade their jQuery skills.The text covers everything you need to know in design patterns in order to tackle common problems and help you write clean and maintainable code. It is perfect for people with some basic knowledge of jQuery who want to build large scale web applications.The coding examples are extremely useful and concise.

The contents of the book are very easy to consume and digest, thus focusing in providing suggestions and examples for various considerations and requirements of real world application development. It’s as explanatory as it should be and never made me skip a paragraph.If you are an experienced software developer working on the server side and back-end systems and fan of best practices and design patterns (like me), want to make your web products better by adding some presentation logic and interactivity on the client, the right way, then this book is highly recommended. If you have worked with javascript & jQuery, but want to quickly start writing high quality, well-structured, controllable code without using a more sophisticated javascript framework, then this book will give exactly you what you want and expect.It’s not about jQuery, but rather on how jQuery should be used in the real world of modular, extendable and maintainable application programming. I especially enjoyed references to Asynchronous Control and Plugins designing.I also think that this book should be a first reference to young programmers who opt for front-end development and want to get involved with more advanced frameworks.It certainly made me appreciate frond-end development more than I could expect.
