jQuery Cookbook--New from O'Reilly
Solutions & Examples for jQuery Developers

Sebastopol, CA--jQuery simplifies building rich, interactive web frontends. Getting started with
this JavaScript library is easy, but it can take years to fully realize its breadth and depth; this
cookbook shortens the learning curve considerably. With these recipes, you'll learn patterns and
practices from 19 leading developers who use jQuery for everything from integrating simple
components into websites and applications to developing complex, high-performance user interfaces.

Ideal for newcomers and JavaScript veterans alike, "jQuery Cookbook" (O'Reilly, US $34.99), edited
by Cody Lindley (@corylindley), starts with the basics and then moves to practical use cases with
tested solutions to common web development hurdles. You also get recipes on advanced topics, such
as methods for applying jQuery to large projects.

"jQuery is the most used JavaScript solution, of all JavaScript solutions, by a long shot. Having
great material out there is important because jQuery usage is off the charts," says Lindley.

John Resig, Creator and Lead Developer of jQueary, says, "One of the best ways to expand your
preconceived notion of what you can do with jQuery is to learn and use code from the jQuery plugin
community...Personally I find a cookbook to be one of the best ways to challenge my preconceived
notions of a language or library. I love seeing cases where an API that I thought I knew well is
turned around and used in new and interesting ways."

With "jQuery Cookbook" you will learn how to:

- Solve problems involving events, effects, dimensions, forms, themes, and user interface elements
- Learn how to enhance your forms, and how to position and reposition elements on a page
- Make the most of jQuery's event management system, including custom events and custom event data
- Create UI elements-such as tabs, accordions, and modals-from scratch
- Optimize your code to eliminate bottlenecks and ensure peak performance
- Learn how to test your jQuery applications
- Apply the jQuery UI CSS framework and theming
