Learning JQuery

In yesterday's post I mentioned that I was trialling the JQuery framework on some new interactive web development tasks. As is my want, I had purchased a copy of "Learning JQuery" by Jonathan Chaffer and Karl Swedberg and had started to write a review - when I spotted this excellent review over at SlashDot

The only thing I would add is that if you are already very familiar with DOM manipulation using JavaScript then you can probably manage to pick up JQuery from the documentation on the site - although a copy of the companion "JQuery Reference Guide" might make a welcome addition to your bookshelf.

For the lowest prices on these books and free shipping - buy directly from the publishers PACKT who will then also make a financial contribution to the project.
