Praise for Earlier Editions of jQuery in Action

Every technical book should be like this one...concise but clear, humorous but not silly, and one that answers all the questions it raises, quickly. The reader is never left wondering “But what about...” for more than a sentence or two.

Thanks to the authors and their exemplary style, this comprehensive book, or operating manual as it might be called, can be taken in a front-to-back approach to learn from scratch, or as a reference for those already dabbling in jQuery and needing verification of best practices.

With its capable technical coverage, extensive use of sample code, and approachable style, this book is a valuable resource for any web developer seeking to maximize the power of JavaScript, and a must-have for anyone interested in learning jQuery.

An excellent work, a worthy successor to others in Manning’s In Action series. It is highly readable and chock-full of working code. The Lab Pages are a marvelous way to explore the library, which should become an important part of every web developer’s arsenal. Five stars all ‘round!

I highly recommend the book for learning the fundamentals of jQuery and then serving as a good reference book as you leverage the power of jQuery more and more in your daily development.
