A good web development framework anticipates what you need to do and
makes those tasks easier and more efficient; jQuery practically reads
your mind. Developers of every stripe-hobbyists and professionals
alike-fall in love with jQuery the minute they’ve reduced 20 lines of
clunky JavaScript into three lines of elegant, readable code. This new,
concise JavaScript library radically simplifies how you traverse HTML
documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions
to your web pages. jQuery in Action, like jQuery itself, is a concise
tool designed to make you a more efficient and effective web developer.
In a short 300 pages, this book introduces you to the jQuery programming
model and guides you through the major features and techniques you’ll
need to be productive immediately. The book anchors each new concept in
the tasks you’ll tackle in day-to-day web development and offers unique
lab pages where you immediately put your jQuery knowledge to work. There
are dozens of JavaScript libraries available now, with major companies
like Google, Yahoo and AOL open-sourcing their in-house tools. This book
shows you how jQuery stacks up against other libraries and helps you
navigate interaction with other tools and frameworks. jQuery in Action
offers a rich investigation of the up-and-coming jQuery library for
client-side JavaScript. This book covers all major features and
capabilities in a manner focused on getting the reader up and running
with jQuery from the very first sections. Web Developers reading this
book will gain a deep understanding of how to use jQuery to simplify
their pages and lives, as well as learn the philosophy behind writing
jQuery-enhanced pages.
