This book gives u as a programmer or a web developer an easy way to learn from the scratch jQuery through many useful and practical recipes. The content is a good basis for beginners and useful for reference to medium of developers. It is based on Problem-Solution Approach which gives you a problem that might happen to you and then you have the solution in details.

the book contains the following chapters:

Chapter 1: jQuery Basis
Chapter 2: Arrays and Strings
Chapter 3: Event Handling
Chapter 4: Form Validation
Chapter 5: Page Navigation
Chapter 6: Visual Effects
Chapter 7: Dealing with Tables
Chapter 8: Ajax
Chapter 9: Using Plugins
Chapter 10: Using CSS

If you are a beginner chapter one is mandatory to start and if you have some experience this chapter is useful to refresh your knowledge. - for me i skipped it cause i know how to install Jquery and the other stuffs -.

i don't know but i think some of the recipes were pointless and some of them were hard to follow!! and i noticed the poor coding practices! The recipes for visual effects were not that good I end up found better recipes elsewhere online.

it's OK but it could be better : ).
