About this product
Synopsis | |
A gentle, slow-paced approach to learning JavaScript and jQuery With this full-color, approachable book, youll learn how to make your web pages more interactive and your interfaces more intuitive with JavaScript and jQuery. The content assumes no previous programming experience, other than knowing how to create a basic web page in HTML & CSS. Youll learn from scratch 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 youre reading to create more enriching web experiences and express your creativity through code, then this is the book for you. Learn JavaScript and jQuery a nicer way 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.

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. The book takes a far more visual approach than other titles, with lots of diagrams, infographics, and lifestyle photography, following the same format as HTML & CSS (design and build websites). The audience of that title has already shown a strong interest in a book on JavaScript in this format. Unlike the majority of books on JavaScript or JQuery, this title covers both (because JQuery makes it easier and faster to develop your own scripts), and it does not assume experience of either of these technologies. It will make use of some popular JQuery plugins to illustrate techniques that would otherwise require many pages of detailed explanation (if the reader were being taught to create the plugins from scratch themselves). By explaining how it works, we can use fewer pages and still explain the same core concepts (simultaneously showing readers how to use JQuery plugins rather than writing scripts from scratch). The book will make it clear that it will explain the jargon of programming clearly and simply to those who do not understand the vocabulary (rather than pretending to be jargon-free), which is important because the reader does need to know these terms if they are to understand how to use many of the JQuery plugins available and understand their documentation. The book also has some very timely features (not covered in competing titles) including: Mentions of CSS transforms where they are a good alternative to JavaScript Responsive design techniques Using JavaScript to serve images for Retina displays. Along the way, the book will include many pro-tips to attract the attention of people who already know a bit of JavaScript and make them feel like they are still learning something new. | |

inside it s beautifully designed, clearly laid out, and adds plenty of visual examples alongside the instructive text (Web User, August 2014) Forget dry references and cheesy examples. This beautifully designed visual guide takes you from the basics to sophisticated JavaScript techniques for making websites interactive and engaging in a way that is, in itself, interactive and engaging (ZDNet, September 2014) | |
