`$(this)`	jQuery object	This refers to the current jQuery object
`:checked`	jQuery selector	This selects checked input elements
`.click()`	jQuery event binder	This binds a handler to the `click` event of an element
`.each()`	jQuery method	This iterates over the matched elements and executes a function for each element
`.find()`	jQuery method	This finds all elements that match the filter

Description

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 the ability to get more done with less code. It has gained popularity with ASP.NET developers and is now distributed with Visual Studio and the NuGet package manager. ASP.NET jQuery Cookbook explores the wide range of utilities that the jQuery library provides. It teaches you the nitty-gritty of plugging in these features in ASP.NET web applications. It covers every aspect of interfacing the library, right from downloading and including jQuery on web pages to selecting controls, handling events, and creating animations. This book also walks you through DOM traversal and manipulation in ASP.NET and then through visual effects and graphics in ASP.NET sites. It explores advanced features such as posting AJAX requests and writing plugins. It will provide you with all the information you need to use this library confidently with ASP.NET.

A very interesting cookbook that helps you put your ASP.NET knowledge and the power of jQuery into action.This book is up-to-date with the latest version of ASP.NET and jQuery. You will be able to progress smoothly from the basics to selectors, traversals, events, visual effects, Ajax, and plugins.Through the 60 recipes, you will be able to experiment with the power of jQuery in ASP.NET web forms and MVC applications.For every recipe, the author provides a list of jQuery features that will be covered in that recipe with their description!Another interesting feature about this book is the author's attention to details and full coverage. For instance, In chapter 7 that talks about Ajax, the author covers the web service examples using page methods, WCF, and Web API!! When necessary, the code is available in C# and VB.NET!

Tom Aug 11, 2016

The data in this book is apparently meant to be formatted 2 columns with a code example in one column, and a description of what the example represents in the second column. Unfortunately, the way the information is displayed in the kindle is (top to bottom) all the information from the first column, then information in the second column further down the page, or in many cases on a second or third page. This makes the information cumbersome at best to read/ understand. Perhaps the book formats differently on a computer, but for a kindle/ tablet user I cannot recommend the digital purchase of this book
