Book Description
This detailed reference guide to jQuery, an open-source JavaScript library that shields web developers from browser inconsistencies, simplifies adding dynamic, interactive elements, and reduces development time, covers the syntax of every jQuery method, function, and selector with detailed discussions to help readers get the most from jQuery. After analyzing an example jQuery script, detailed reference chapters cover the components of jQuery from Selectors to AJAX. The last chapters cover jQuery's elegant plug-in architecture and the popular Dimensions and Form plug-ins. The book offers web developers both a broad, organized view of all that the jQuery library has to offer and a quick a reference for comprehensive details. Readers need basic HTML and CSS, and familiarity with JavaScript syntax, but no knowledge of jQuery is assumed. However, this is not an introductory title and readers starting out with jQuery should first read the companion book from Packt, Learning jQuery.
About The Author
Karl Swedberg is a web developer at Structure Interactive in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he spends much of his time implementing design with a focus on "web standards"--semantic HTML, well-mannered CSS, and unobtrusive JavaScript.
Before his current love affair with web development, Karl worked as a copy editor, a high-school English teacher, and a coffee house owner. His fascination with technology began in the early 1990s when he worked at Microsoft in Redmond, Washington, and it has continued unabated ever since.
Karl's other obsessions include photography, karate, English grammar, and fatherhood. He lives in Grand Rapids with his wife, Sara, and his two children, Benjamin and Lucia.
Jonathan Chaffer is the Chief Technology Officer of Structure Interactive, an interactive agency located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. There he oversees web development projects using a wide range of technologies, and continues to collaborate on day-to-day programming tasks as well.
In the open-source community, Jonathan has been very active in the Drupal CMS project, which has adopted jQuery as its JavaScript framework of choice. He is the creator of the Content Construction Kit, a popular module for managing structured content on Drupal sites. He is responsible for major overhauls of Drupal's menu system and developer API reference.
Jonathan lives in Grand Rapids with his wife, Jennifer.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Learning JQuery is a good book that I can recommend, I hoped the same for this one. While it is not a bad book it is much easier to find the information I need from the internet - I didn't find the book either useful or insightful. This is a book that I most likely will never use again.
