Preface

jQuery is a lightweight JavaScript library that has changed the landscape of client scripting in web applications. Developed by John Resig in 2006, it has taken the Web by storm because of its cross-browser compatibility and its ability to get more done with less code. The library is supported by an active community of developers and has grown significantly over the years. Using jQuery eases many client scripting tasks, such as event handling, embedding animations, writing Ajax enabled pages, among many more, and adds to the interactive experience of the end user. Its extensible plugin architecture enables developers to build additional functionalities on top of the core library.

Learning jQuery and using it in ASP.NET applications is an indispensable skill for ASP.NET developers. This book attempts to impart this skill by exploring diverse recipes for fast and easy solutions to some of the commonly encountered problems in ASP.NET 4.6 applications.
