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.
