Visual QuickStart Guide

j Query is a popular Java Script library that simplifies event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. Many companies are using j Query including: Amazon, Google, Twitter, Bank of America, BBC, ESPN, CBS News, Digg, Reuters, IBM, Netflix, Dell, Oracle, Slashdot, Tecnorati, and Intuit. Even casual web designers, who create web pages for fun, want to add the latest cool effects to their sites, and j Query—the fast, flexible Java Script library—is a tool of choice. Just as CSS separates "display" characteristics from the HTML structure, j Query separates the "behavior" characteristics from the HTML structure. From visual effects, special controls, and Ajax made easy, the j Query Visual Quick Start Guide will teach readers how to make the most of j Query using the task-based, step-by-step, visual format they love. It’s crammed with examples and there’s a special section on widgets.
