jQuery is a lightweight, fast and concise JavaScript Library. jQuery simplifies verious task for us like HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is great library to reduce our JavaScript coding so they quote "jQuery: The Write Less, Do More".
Today's World Wide Web has a dynamic environment; jQuery is one of the Major pillars of Web 2.0 development. jQuery automate common tasks and simplify complicated ones. Microsoft going to adopt jQuery within Visual Studio and use within Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX framework and ASP.NET MVC Framework. Also Nokia will integrate it into their Web Run-Time platform. jQuery is free and open source software. You can download latest version free of cost at http://jquery.com/
Interested to start development using jQuery? "Learning jQuery : Better Interaction Design and Web Development with Simple JavaScript Techniques" by Karl Swedberg, Jonathan Chaffer is a great book to start with. This book is divided into 10 Chapters and 3 Appendix.
In the first chapter we get introduce with jQuery using a simple basic example. This chapter also help us to solve our basic question like what jQuery Does and why use it.
Chapter 2: "Selectors - How to Get Anything You Want" explore the power of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and XPath selectors to let us quickly and easily access elements or groups of elements in the Document Object Model (DOM). Here we will look at jQuery's DOM traversal methods that provide greater flexibility for getting what we want with jQuery's own custom selectors.
Chapter 3: "Events - How to Pull the Trigger" deals with event handling. jQuery enhances and extends the basic event handling mechanisms to give them a more elegant syntax while at the same time making them more powerful. Here we get introduce with dealing with events, event context and some jQuery event handling methods (like .bind() and .unbind(), .toggle() and .hover(), .trigger() etc) to perform different actions depending on the page element clicked.
Chapter 4: "Effects - How to Add Flair to Your Actions" will explore a number of ways to deal with jQuery effects and combine them in interesting ways. Like Inline CSS Modification, Basic Hide and Show, dealing with Effects and Speed, Animation, Working with a Single or Multiple Set of Elements.
Chapter 5: "DOM Manipulation - How to Change Your Page on Command" deals with advance use of jQuery like Manipulating Attributes, Inserting New Elements, Moving Elements, Wrapping or copying Elements, cloning content using jQuery's DOM modification methods.
Chapter 6: "AJAX - How to Make Your Site Buzzword-Compliant" explore us how to deal with Server like execute scripts from the server on demand, Loading Data on Demand and send data back to the server. Here we deals with data and server interaction without a page refresh.
In Chapter 7: 'Table Manipulation", Chapter 8: "Forms with Function" and Chapter 9: "Shufflers and Rotators" we deals with implementing jQuery to solve real-time problems with an online bookstore as our model website. Here we get a conceptual idea to use jQuery for a web project. Here we made some spike application for Pagination, Server-Side Sorting, alternate row Highlighting, Form Validation, Headline Rotator, An Image Carousel, Image Enlargement and many more.
Chapter 10: "Plug-ins" deals with Plug-ins which modifies or extends jQuery, making it an even more feature-rich library. This chapter explores about three official plug-ins. To understand usefulness and flexibility of plug-ins in jQuery Development and to create our own that pushs the boundaries further.
This book has 3 Appendix, Appendix A: provides us "Online Resources". Appendix B: provides list "Development Tools" for Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and many more. Appendix C: "JavaScript Closures" are a powerful language feature and this appendix helps us to write more efficient and concise code with JavaScript closures.
The book will not going to teach you Basic of JavaScript and Ajax. But you want to go through this book to learn more about Ajax using jQuery. You must have basic knowledge of following:
This book is focused on Ajax using jQuery, but the theory and logic is just as useful in pretty much any webdesing language you use. I like to recommend this book to all enthusiastic web developer and programmer who love to develop quality Ajax code. This book covers all the aspect to learn jQuery.
