I already have a strong knowledge of HTML, DOM and Javascript programming but I am fairly new to jQuery but I have used other JS frameworks like Dojo. This was a perfect crash course on the core part of jQuery. Just what I needed. It would be good to also have a book like this cover the jQuery UI at the same level of detail and fast pace. Nice job by the author. Recommended.

Read a bit, learn lot. With good examples.
