Murach’s JavaScript and jQuery
jQuery is a free, open-source, JavaScript library that provides dozens of methods that make it easier to code JavaScript applications (like slide shows, carousels, and image swaps). What’s more, the jQuery methods are coded and tested for cross-browser compatibility, so they will work in all browsers. The only prerequisite is a basic familiarity with HTML and CSS. We don’t expect you to code HTML and CSS, though, so we provide that code for all of the examples and exercises in the book.
Those are just two of the reasons why jQuery is used in more and more of today’s most popular web sites. In fact, it’s becoming so widely used that every professional web developer needs to learn it. You can think of jQuery as one of the 4 technologies that every professional web developer should master, along with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. So this book is for any web developer today.
Today, jQuery is used by more than half of the 10,000 most-visited web sites, and jQuery is one of the technologies that every web developer should master. The trouble is that jQuery is difficult to learn, especially for programming novices. Now, this new book makes it easier than ever to learn jQuery, jQuery UI (User Interface), and jQuery Mobile.
