JQUERY IN ACTION 2nd Edition (Paperback) Price: Rs.473

jQuery In Action is a book that provides an introduction and guidelines to use jQuery in order to reduce the workload and increase the efficiency while developing JavaScript or web-based applications.

Summary Of The Book

In today’s world, a lot of applications in mobiles, smartphones, tablets, and desktops are developed using Java, most of which are web-based. These mostly use the help of Javascript, that makes the code run up to innumerable lines. jQuery, a cross-browser Javascript library, helps reduce 20 lines of code to almost three lines.

jQuery in Action is a book that provides guidelines on how to take coding in Javascript to a new, more efficient level. It shows how to handle events, include animations and Ajax in web pages. The book contains unique “lab pages” that explain each new concept with the help of a practical example. It also covers concepts on how jQuery interacts with other frameworks and tools. Prior knowledge about JavaScript and Ajax is required for readers to gain mastery in jQuery, along with the assistance of jQuery in Action.

The topics included in the first part of the book are Introducing jQuery, Bringing pages to life with jQuery, Selecting the elements upon which to act, Energizing pages with animations and effects, and Events are where it happens. Apart from this, the book also shares information on jQuery utility functions, and Ajax’s interaction with the server.

The second part deals with the user interface of jQuery, including mouse interactions and UI widgets. This edition of the book was published in 2010.

Excellent book

Some of the reviewers noted the lack of examples in this book. I strongly feel that this apparent deficit is more than made up for by the source code for this book which is available online. The authors have obviously spent considerable time in ensuring that the lab experiments teach the readers a lot of things. More examples in the book would only have made the book fluffy without improving its utility. A certain degree of sophistication and enterprise is definitely expected while reading the book. Before I forget, the appendix on Javascript is awesome.
JQuery relies heavily on CSS and the authors assume a lot of familiarity with stylesheets. Hence it's useful to keep a CSS reference handy.
A MUST BUY!

I ordered this book on Nov 20, and it was delivered on Nov 23. Flipkart has an excellent delivery system, and they keep you updated about the order shipping details etc.

About the book : Received it just a few hours ago. But from what I have seen it's great. Basics explained in detail.
Recommended if you are a beginner.

Thanks!

Well written book

If you are a web developer either Jsp or ASP , this book is a must read . it will really make your life a breeze.
A javascript function which i write in 3 to 4 lines can be done in just 1 line. Its really a powerful tool in your hand.
If you have ever written a java script function don't hestitate to read this book.
