Review: jQuery Cookbook
|
|
I love jQuery. It's not like there aren't other JavaScript libraries out there, but jQuery was the first I became involved with and so far, it's solved every web design problem I've encountered. Of course, I usually go searching for a jQuery solution on the web when I have such a problem. That's why I was looking forward to O'Reilly's jQuery Cookbook. I anticipated that, whenever I had a specific problem, I'd have a better than even chance of finding the solution between the book's covers rather than having to go "Googling". But is that really so?

First things first. Who should buy this book? Part of the blurb on the back cover says that the expertise level is "intermediate" and that "Previous JavaScript programming experience is required". If that doesn't include you, then get some JavaScript programming experience before buying the book or, buy the book and put it on the shelf until you grow into it. Interestingly enough, the book's Preface suggests that it might be helpful to use this book with one or two other books released by other publishers. That's a rather unusual recommendation, particularly for O'Reilly, but it does point to the absence of jQuery books on the market today, or at least beginner's jQuery books published by O'Reilly.
