[BUY] Excellent Book on jQuery Ecosystem,
This review is from: jQuery, jQuery UI, and jQuery Mobile: Recipes and Examples (Developer's Library) (Paperback)
Overall Rating: Buy.What is this book good for? *If you have some experience with Javascript and/or JQuery, you will find this book useful in your technical library. If you are starting with jquery, then you will find the introduction decent. *This book has the flavor of cookbooks - recipes and examples. When you are doing JQuery based development and are searching for answers on how to do certain things, you can either do a lot of google searching or you can open this book and look at a recipe. I would prefer the book because you can look at the table of contents to the appropriate recipe and find concise code to achieve something. *I liked the various best practices described in this book such as placing script tags at the bottom of the page. There is sufficient reasoning provided for best practices. *There is decent treatment of jquery, jquery UI, JQuery Mobile and Twitter Bootstrap Framework. So one book all encompassing this, is valuable for... Read more

Useful jQuery book,
This review is from: jQuery, jQuery UI, and jQuery Mobile: Recipes and Examples (Developer's Library) (Kindle Edition)
This book is a great learning source for jQuery, jQuery UI and Mobile having separate chapters for each jQuery section. The last chapter also explains how to create and work with jQuery plugins. The book explains some basics of jQuery, however it would be good to have some jQuery or basic JavaScript knowledge prior to reading it.The content is presented in the form of small "recipes" which explain how you use different jQuery functions in your web development process. Each recipe has a code example and although in some cases it seems obvious what the code does, to have a better understanding of it, the reader should test the examples on a computer. For this the electronic version of the book would be more useful since the reader will be able to follow along and test the code examples. In my opinion the book is very useful if you want to learn jQuery or even if you already have a good understanding of it but want to refresh your knowledge. The book... Read more

full examples - read with a computer, By Jeanne Boyarsky (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: jQuery, jQuery UI, and jQuery Mobile: Recipes and Examples (Developer's Library) (Paperback)
"jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile" is meant to be read on a computer with you trying the examples. I reviewed the print version and was disappointed by three things. (And I was an airplane reading it with no computer or internet so I physically couldn't run the examples.)1) In the first half of the book EVERY example had all the HTML code to run it. This is overkill in a print book and wastes time reading in discerning the important parts rather than "every document has a head section". And no, the relevant lines weren't highlighted. 2) Many places say things like "it becomes apparent " or "as you can see from running the code". This was immensely frustrating not being able to run the code. Additionally, I can't find an electronic copy of the code on any of the book's pages or referenced in the book. I feel like it was assumed everyone would buy the e-book. 3) There weren't screenshots in the book. This would have been useful for the UI and mobile... Read more |
