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.
