Learn jQuery with new book

1 New Member
A new book on jQuery, the powerful JavaScript library, has been announced by Packt In Learning jQuery, Karl Swedberg and Jonathan Chaffer, creators of the popular jQuery learning resource www.LearningjQu ery.com, share their knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm about jQuery to help users get the most from the library and to make their web applications shine.

jQuery is a powerful JavaScript library that can enhance websites regardless of the developer’s background. For designers, jQuery leverages existing CSS and HTML skills, allowing them to dynamically find and change any aspect of a page. For programmers, jQuery offers an open -source, standards-compliant, unobtrusive approach to writing complex JavaScript applications.

Learning jQuery provides a gentle introduction to jQuery concepts, allowing users to add interactions and animations to pages, even if previous attempts at writing JavaScript have been unsuccessful. The book is designed to guide users past the pitfalls associated with AJAX, events, effects, and advanced JavaScript language features, as well as provide users with a reference to the jQuery library to return to again and again.

I am learning more and more Prototype and Script.aculo.us and got the Bungee book... and wonder if I should get some books on jQuery (jQuery in Action, and Learning jQuery) and start learning about it too? Once I saw a website comparing Prototype to Java and jQuery to Ruby... but now that I read more and more about Prototype, it is said that Prototype actually came from Ruby on Rails development and the creator of Prototype created it...

Although I believe your criticisms of jQuery are without merit, I have tried to see the fuss in a positive light. I, thusly, have decided that perhaps there is a need for YET further transparency and YET more done to provide an ease-of-review of the jQuery code. With this in mind I have made recommendations to John Resig on how YET more ease-of- review (and with it as much transparency as possible) could be provided to users of the...

Do some of the regulars here need to re-think their (sometimes strident) opposition to libraries? Both Microsoft and Nokia have announced support for jQuery. It seems to have gained quite a bit of momentum, can it be considered a reasonable choice for those who want to use a full-featured, well supported library? <URL: http://jquery.com/blog/2008/09/28/jquery-microsoft-nokia/ >

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
