Preface

Many developers are comfortable with using the jQuery library, which adds features to JavaScript and makes a lot of tasks easier, but they are slightly less confident when using JavaScript without jQuery. This could be because they dont like the syntax of JavaScript and so try to avoid writing pure JavaScript as much as possible, or it could just be because theyre hoping that theyll never have to work on a project where they cant use jQuery. Whatever the reason, this can result in the parts of their code that arent using jQuery being inefficient or incorrect.

If any of this sounds like you, then this book provides an opportunity for you to expand your knowledge of the bits of JavaScript that jQuery covers up for you. In the first four chapters, well cover event handling, prototypes, working with the DOM, and AJAX. highlights some useful tools that you can use to aid you when coding.

You can find all the major functions from this book, such as the AJAX and event functions, and some additional code samples, on this GitHub repo.

Who This Book Is For

This book is targeted at developers who know jQuery, but who dont yet feel confident in their JavaScript knowledge or would just like to know more. You dont need to know everything there is to know about jQuery, as Ill be explaining what something does if it isnt already obviousfor example, I wouldnt explain what .fadeIn() does, as it is descriptive enough that it doesnt require explanation.

Who This Book Isnt For

This book assumes a basic knowledge of jQuery, and I wouldnt recommend reading it if you have no experience in JavaScript or jQuery. If that describes you, I would recommend finding a basic JavaScript book such as Michael Morrisons Head First JavaScript , David Sawyer McFarlands JavaScript and jQuery: The Missing Manual , or Shelley Powerss Learning JavaScript . For a more comprehensive exploration, try David Flanagans JavaScript: The Definitive Guide .

While it certainly wont hurt, this book wasnt written for you if you already consider yourself fairly good with JavaScript, and you may not learn much. You wont have covered everything in the book (especially in ), but a lot of it will likely be material you already know.

Acknowledgments

Thank you to David DeMello, Eric Hamilton, Cody Lindley, and Ralph Whitbeck, the technical reviewers without whom this book wouldnt be half what it is now. Thanks also to my editors, Meghan Blanchette and Simon St.Laurent, and everyone else at OReilly Media.

A massive thanks to all the folks at webdevRefinery for motivating me to write this book in the first place.

Finally, Id like to thank John Resig and everyone else who has contributed to the wonderful jQuery library. Without jQuery, I would be stuck spending half my time debugging Internet Explorer issues!
