Description

jQuery's selectors is one of the most important concepts of the jQuery library. Usually, the first thing you do is to select one or more elements of a page in order to manipulate them. Therefore, to efficiently learn the usage of jQuery's selectors is one of the first steps to successfully build your website. Instant jQuery Selectors is a practical guide that will teach you how to use jQuery's selectors efficiently in order to easily select theelements of your pages to operate upon with jQuery's methods. You will go through the most common problems that you could face while developing your project and will learn how to solve them with the help of focused examples that Instant jQuery Selectors has to offer. Instant jQuery Selectors, starting from how to set up jQuery and how to choose the right version for your project, explains to you all the selectors available using a multitude of simple and practical recipes that will help you start using selectors in the right way. Reading the presented recipes you'll learn about the numerous selectors and filters of jQuery – almost 100 of them! You will see how to reuse collections, the methods to filter collections, and how to take advantage of the lesser known parameter of jQuery's constructor: context. Also, you'll discover the methods to traverse the DOM and the techniques to improve the performance of your website by just tweaking selectors. Instant jQuery Selectors is the resource to learn everything you need to know about jQuery's selectors.

Instant jQuery Selectors is a really good comprehensive reference for anyone wanting to get more power out of there $({{selectors}}). I learned several things I didn't know that jQuery was able to do and while it is rare that you need much more than the regular ID or class selector, there are certainly those instances where you need a little bit more. Instant jQuery Selectors will teach you those things and a few other nuances about jQuery itself.The code walk throughs are also very instructive to help you understand and solidify the concepts for you. And when all is said and done, owning this book is a great reference for the power of jQuery selectors. Definitely would recommend this one!
