Did you ever go to a web site and think, wow, how did they do that? Or, wouldn't that be cool to write? I know I do.Well, this book is filled with 10 small projects you can use in real life. So unlike an API book where it focuses on the small granular API calls this book focuses on completed solutions.It starts off in the preface with a high level summary of what jQuery is and the basic concepts of the API so you really don't even have to know jQuery to read this book. You do however need to know HTML and JavaScript basics but I will add, all of the source code is available and the massive 296 page book does a great job going step by step. The beauty of the book is it covers a lot of areas for where jQuery can be used - from developing games to building your own jQuery. Many of the techniques used in the book are very creative and well thought through. Each project has plenty of screen shots and narrative to help you digest the content. Did I mention all of the source code is downloadable? Yep, so you can casually read the book and then go back and play with the finished source code if you wanted.From beginner to advanced this book is a valuable resource to see how different things can be done with jQuery. It mixes some really good JavaScript API's along with jQuery API's to create real life projects.

Where most books cover minutia of Jquery or Javascript. This book gets you coding in a hurry. A very pleasant experience. As a web developer, the chance of coming across a book that gives you step by step instructions on what could be real projects and not boring theory is a rare treat. I would highly recommend this book for anyone with at least a basic understanding of JavaScript. Some of the JavaScript concepts you will need to understand to get the most out of this book are callbacks,events,functions,arrays and object literals. Dan Wellman provides great little insight to every code example and really breaks it down into everyday language everyone can understand. He also provides you with bits of Classified Intel on how JavaScript works in the sections called "Classified Intel". A must have for anyone wanting to get past the dry theory based books and build some functional projects.

Clear and practical book

James Gonzales May 20, 2013

If you're new to jQuery, read this book to see good working projects that explain why these techniques are used. If you're experienced, you'll like the more comprehensive projects and the challenges on how to extend them even more.You will use HTML5 and some of the newer APIs in these projects. They range from interactive Google maps, jQuery UI, SPAs (single page applications), jQuery Mobile and more! One of the best parts is the debriefing where the design is described in each project. If you come across a new topic or subject, there are always handy hyperlinks that lead you to more detailed information. I liked this book and learned a lot from it.

So you've built a few web sites that use some of jQuery's most common methods. Perhaps you've used jQuery for a few simple DOM manipulations, form validations, smooth animations, or tacked on some plugins and feel like you've seen what jQuery can do. If this sounds like you, this book will quickly dispel your notion of jQuery as simple, convenience javascript library, but a powerful tool that can be used in a vast and surprising array of scenarios. This book is not for jQuery beginners or for those who are only interested in creating simple informational web sites. A look at the table of contents alone will quickly expand the boundaries of what you thought was possible. Yes, jQuery is used in every project and that is why it's name is on the cover, but you'll see it used in conjunction with many other libraries and APIs. And as you dive in to the chapters, you'll start to uncover some best practices and important intricacies with not just jQuery but with native Javascript programming as well (i.e. performance tweaking, variable hoisting, function expressions, namespacing, etc).Simply put, this book is for the passionate and curious developers that are looking to expand their knowledge of where and how jQuery can fit in the broad range of web development.
