Description

Learn JavaScript and jQuery a nicer way

This full-color book adopts a visual approach to teaching JavaScript & jQuery, showing you how to make web pages
more interactive and interfaces more intuitive through the use of inspiring code examples, infographics, and
photography. The content assumes no previous programming experience, other than knowing how to create a basic
web page in HTML & CSS. You'll learn how to achieve techniques seen on many popular websites (such as adding
animation, tabbed panels, content sliders, form validation, interactive galleries, and sorting data)..

Introduces core programming concepts in JavaScript and jQuery

Uses clear descriptions, inspiring examples, and easy-to-follow diagrams
Teaches you how to create scripts from scratch, and understand the thousands of JavaScripts, JavaScript APIs,
and jQuery plugins that are available on the web
Demonstrates the latest practices in progressive enhancement, cross-browser compatibility, and when you may
be better off using CSS3

If you're looking to create more enriching web experiences and express your creativity through code, then this is the
book for you.
