Book Reviews of jQuery Reference Guide
Book Review: Good book for Jquery
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is written in a well organized pattern. This book actually gives justice to those developers who have been involved in the program so much that they want to share their knowledge to the world. There are already books published that have completely and party discussed jQuery as a library and its valuable explanation however this book gives out a robust explanation on how can jQuery affect the general experience of the web users when the program is effectively implemented properly.
At first glance developers may think that the book could be used as an actual introduction of jQuery. That may seem to be the initial idea of the readers but closer evaluation will reveal some prior knowledge of simple languages and a little bit of jQuery. This presupposition stems from the fact that the book needs you to understand the program quickly and move on to other chapters. It gives out clear usage of the different aspects of the library but it expects the developer to understand the program fast.
Prior skills in JavaScript and HTML are required to use this book to its full extent. On a lighter fact, this book is a perfect addition for developers who might have too much to remember. This book is a perfect crash course in jQuery, revealing almost every aspect of jQuery in a precise and concise manner.
Summary of jQuery Reference Guide
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.General Books
