JQuery in Easy Steps - Mike McGrath - Bog

jQuery in Easy Steps begins by explaining how to incorporate the free jQuery library so readers can quickly create interactive web page features by copying the book's examples. It demonstrates how to easily select elements of the web page for manipulation and how to simply produce dynamic responses to user events. Examples illustrate various exciting animation effects and how to employ the power of AJAX to load external data without refreshing the entire web page. The book concludes by demonstrating how readers can use their acquired knowledge to create their very own distributable plugins for the jQuery library. jQuery in Easy Steps assumes readers will already have some basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and are now ready to embrace the jQuery philosophy of "write less - do more" to enhance their web pages. It has an easy-to-follow style that will appeal to web developers who want to quickly learn the latest dynamic techniques, and to the student who is studying website design at school or college, and to those seeking a career in web development that need a thorough understanding of jQuery.
