Book Description
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 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.
This book requires some knowledge of JavaScript and Ajax but no
previous experience with jQuery.
