Críticas

"If you are new to web design or an old pro like me, this book is a must-have in my opinion. I love how it starts out with the basics and then moves on to the good stuff. Each chapter is full of examples and sample code showing you how to do the most common techniques that you will face as a web developer or designer. I have not seen a better book on the subject.”

Today, you’ll find JavaScript and jQuery used everywhere on the web, from small individual sites to the largest commercial sites like Google, Amazon, and Facebook. That’s why every web developer needs to have at least a basic set of JavaScript and jQuery skills.

And now, this one book presents the JavaScript and jQuery skills that every web developer needs...whether you’re a web designer who’s coming from a background in HTML and CSS or a server-side programmer who’s coded in languages like PHP, C#, Java, and Python. Due to its unique, self-paced approach, this book works regardless of your experience. And when you’re through learning from it, this book will become the best quick reference that you’ve ever used.

To make this all possible, section 1 presents a 7-chapter course on JavaScript that will get anyone off to a great start, with a special focus on the skills you need for getting the most from jQuery. Then, section 2 presents all of the jQuery skills that you’re likely to need, including how to create slide shows, image swaps, carousels, and accordions...how to validate the data in forms...how to use plugins and widgets...and how to use Ajax and JSON to get data from a web server without reloading the web page.

At that point, you’ll have a solid set of JavaScript and jQuery skills. Then, section 3 lets you expand your skill set as you learn how to work with date and time objects, browser objects, web storage, arrays, your own objects, regular expressions, and more. The last chapter takes your skills to the expert level as you learn how to use modules and IIFEs to build jQuery plugins.
