Description
jQuery: Novice to Ninja: New Kicks And Tricks (2nd Edition) is your fast track to mastering jQuery—the all-conquering JavaScript framework. Used by over half the world’s top 10,000 websites, jQuery is the fastest, most efficient way to add killer functionality to your site. Now in its second edition, you'll be taken through the fundamentals of jQuery, adding interactivity and animation to your websites. Then, you'll be taken through more sophisticated techniques, including plugins, UI widgets, and the brand new jQuery mobile framework.
Who is this for?
If you’re a front-end Designer looking to add a dash of cool interactivity to your sites, and you’ve heard all the buzz about jQuery and want to find out what the fuss is about, this book will put you on the right track. If you’ve dabbled with JavaScript, but been frustrated by the complexity of many seemingly simple tasks, we’ll show you how jQuery can help you. You should already have intermediate to advanced HTML and CSS skills, as jQuery uses CSS-style selectors to zero in on page elements. Some rudimentary programming knowledge will be helpful to have, as jQuery—despite its clever abstractions—is still based on JavaScript.

Excellent starter for me. (I'm only about 10% through it so far).

I've been using JQuery for some time, but since I had learned it as I went along there were gaps in my knowledge. This book is great for filling in those gaps and taking my skills further.

I do a lot of back end development for others and jQuery is in more and more of my projects. I have done quite a bit with jQuery in the past but never really "got" it. This book was an eye opener. Now I "get" it and has opened a whole new set of doors. Thank You. Lorenww

One of the best of your courses to date. I've always been hesitant about JavaScript and jQuery but this course laid out the concepts and gave examples that were easy to understand. Since I use ASP.Net with master pages it adds another layer of complexity but I feel confidant that I can now do some client side features that were not possible without the knowledge presented in this course.
