Book Description

Publication Date: July 5 2010 | ISBN-10: 1935182323 | ISBN-13: 978-1935182320 | Edition: Second Edition

A really good web development framework anticipates your needs. jQuery does more-it practically reads your mind. Developers fall in love with this JavaScript library the moment they see 20 lines of code reduced to three. jQuery is concise and readable.

jQuery in Action, Second Edition is a fast-paced introduction and guide. It shows you how to traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax to your web pages. The book's unique "lab pages" anchor the explanation of each new concept in a practical example. You'll learn how jQuery interacts with other tools and frameworks and how to build jQuery plugins. This book requires some knowledge of JavaScript and Ajax but no previous experience with jQuery.

This revised and expanded second edition includes even more lab pages than before, along with numerous examples that show the latest best practices developed by the jQuery community. It provides full coverage of jQuery 1.4, along with a deeper look at the ever-expanding world of jQuery plug-ins.

Free digital edition

This book is available free of charge in digital form, including PDF, Kindle, and ePub, from Manning's website for those who own a print copy. The Kindle format ebook is 8.1 MB in size. Instructions on how to register your copy and download the ebook are found inside the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great jQuery book for beginners Sep 26 2010
By Magnitus
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I read this book with some knowledge of Javascript and very little knowledge of jQuery.

By the time I was finished reading the book, I knew enough about jQuery to tackle any challenges related to client-side scripting that I needed to tackle for my project.

The book does a solid review of the core jQuery library covering anything I felt I needed to know about jQuery to be autonomous with the library and then some.

Everything is explained clearly and in enough details to get a firm grasp about the nuances of the covered APIs.

All the API functions are detailed using a full function specification with complete coverage of the function behavior, parameters and return values.

Tangeant concepts needed to understand how the jQuery API works (cross-browser specific behavior, various standards, some less obvious Javascript features, etc) are also covered along with best practices when coding with jQuery and html/Javascript in general.

Readers that don't know any Javascript at all might be hard pressed to follow (maybe read a couple of Javascript tutorials first at the very least), but for those who are familiar with Javascript and desirous to know more about jQuery will find that this book really is a complete package that covers everything you need to know to autonomously develop your own complex feature-rich jQuery based client-side code.

Note: The second part of the book (about jQuery UI) was of lesser interest to me so I only skimed through it, but it looked good too. This review pertain to the first part of the book covering the jQuery core library however.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeded Expectations July 24 2011
By Adam
Format:Paperback
I read this book cover to cover - it's more than a reference, it takes the reader through the intricacies of the jQuery (and jQuery UI) libraries. The narration regarding the examples is excellent.. some of the other books I glanced at before choosing this title were full of examples that were not actually explained very well. I'm not sure this book is for beginners, or for those looking for 'cookie cutter' scripts to drop into their pages, but more for those who really want to understand what's happening, of course leading to innovative new functionality.

I'll add that jQuery itself is more powerful than I had first thought - hats off to the creator of jQuery! Thank you for creating such a fantastic tool. And to the jQuery UI Team - fantastic work as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect the tutorial code to work Mar 31 2013
By Jeremy
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am not entirely convinced the author is a competent programmer. The explanations of code seem clear when reading the book, but the downloaded tutorials do not seem to work. When trying to run the tutorials the page hangs up on jQuery methods, which is really shoddy for a book looking to teach that language.
