What I feel in Short : Awesome book , get a copy from packt .

Every one in the web development field have heard about JQuery . Although it has a great documentation I thought of reading a book written for jquery . I asked Packt publishers for the book by Jonathan Chaffer who is the creator of CCK module for Drupal and Karl Swedberg who is  a member of the jQuery Project Team and an active contributor to the jQuery discussion list .

I finished reading the awesome book Learning jQuery 1.3 . If someone have read this book I am dam sure that they will recommend this book ( This book is not the boring theory you learn from BTech class , its really real world examples  ) . I am very much Thankful to packt for the great present in this new year. I am also happy to write this review as jquery celebrates its birthday a few days back.

Let me take this opporchunity to Thank the authors for writing such a beautiful book . This book will really help people who is new and also as a reference to those who are working on jQuery . The authors teach us through real world examples, so you will be defnitely using those in your web development . They teach us how to use jQuery without conflicting with other javascript frameworks like prototype .

The appendix is a great collection of useful resources . If you are in the web development field this book is an asset . Don't forget to buy a copy of the book Learning jQuery 1.3 . I have read some where that packt used to give a particular amount to the open source project whose book is sold. So when you buy this book , you are getting a good asset and the jquery teams gets some contribution to make it much more better .

This book is for ? : Hope you know the basics of HTML and CSS, and should be comfortable with the  JavaScript syntax. No knowledge of jQuery is assumed, nor is experience with any other JavaScript libraries required.

If you are looking to learn ajax, then its for you . Its always good to see the table of contents .
