In JavaScript and jQuery, renowned author Jon Duckett abandons the traditional programming book template in favor of a more relevant, less intimidating approach to writing code. His books, which are full-color and packed with instructional graphics and photos, have a devoted following because they illustrate programming in a way that is both instructive for newcomers and invaluable for seasoned coders.

Duckett ensures that you will quickly be writing your own working scripts by discussing JavaScript and jQuery in a single text. However, the book does not assume any prior knowledge of JavaScript or jQuery. Duckett demonstrates techniques that would require pages and pages of detailed explanation if you were taught to create the plugins yourself by using popular jQuery plugins. This sturdy and appealing hardcover edition is one you'll keep open on your desk as a reference for years to come.

Among the best books on front-end web development, JavaScript & jQuery clearly explains programming jargon, addressing vocabulary without making it a requirement for readers. Duckett addresses readers directly, making this an invaluable resource.
