jQuery tends to be an easy library for many developers and designers to learn, but the danger comes when they start to feel friction with the actual JavaScript language, not the jQuery library. Jack appreciates this friction and tries to alleviate that roadblock for his readers.
Jack gives a good overview of the main topics that jQuery covers and provides numerous code examples and snippets for his readers to grasp. I personally nd that the technical books I most enjoy reading are ones that have code sprinkled here and there so that I can fully grasp the concepts explained in the prose.
jQuery is a fast-evolving library and new versions come out frequently. As a result, new features are added and others are deprecated from version to version. If you are new to jQuery or need a quick refresher, this book will navigate you toward the appropriate API methods and techniques you’ll need to become pro cient with the jQuery library.
