JAVASCRIPT AND JQUERY: INTERACTIVE FRONT-END WEB DEVELOPMENT

At first when I am trying to buy a book in js and jQuery in 2025, I came across this, the book is written many years back. I was little hesitant about old content. I finally bought it. This books covers fundamental concepts very very well, they will dig deep into those. I recommend everyone to read this book. The book is very very interactive and interesting to read.

One of the best javascript and jquery book out in the market. Perfect book for beginners and professionals to write the code in proper way and optimize you scripts by proper following coding standards. When I opened this book I was stunned by the way they have put up all tiny details in illustration magazine format. I have already completed this book. Once you start reading you will never get bored to take a break too.

Thank Your Dear Jon Duckett sir for writing this book. This book is amazing, wonderful, excellent and many more good things. prior reading this book i had questions in my mind that how website (DOM) works, this books explains me each and every thing gradually. I will always be grateful to this book. Respected Jon Duckett Sir kindly keep writing for us, we are waiting for your next book. Thank You so much.

Best book I've ever read on JavaScript best for beginners but the version is too old I bouth this book for 2000 INR. This book contain Vanilla JavaScript book was written in 2014 before ES6 so I'll be better if you not buy this if you want it for ES6. Although the books concepts are greate and good for anyone.

Javascript is One of the Programming language and this book explain it smoothly step by Step

Covers almost everything you need to learn Javascript, jquery and Ajax. The best book on the topic.

Book quality is awesome.

Good quality book. I bought a paperback and it's good quality.the book itself teaches from beginning to assignment making.

A great and convenient source to understand the scripting language of web. Readily understandable analogies, visualizations and examples. Accessing information happens in miliseconds in todays world but having a phsycial copy and being able to cross-read it feels both nostalgical and nice.

I had originally rated this book an 1-star to alert the potential buyers to a serious binding defect, which has also been encountered by several readers. In my original review (see below), I did indicate that the book by itself was excellent. I am editing the review to update a recent development soon after my complaint. Jim Minatel, the co-publisher, contacted me and kindly offered a hardcopy replacement, while at the same time, he tried to nail down the remaining defective copies. I am very grateful for his offer. About the book, I found it hard not to consume everything as soon as I could. In a week, I had already covered about 400 pages with great fun. I am an amateur programmer and know very little about web languages and how they operate in the whole scene of client-server relationship. This book helps me so tremendously because it brings in many related aspects around the core of web programming on the client side. Now, I feel more secure to venture another tiny step to look into web server and its implication in future mobile applications. It is worth mentioning that Jon Duckett also has written a book on a related topics: "HTML & CSS" which is also of very high standard. ___________(Original review)______________ The book is great, but true to many users' experience, the binding started to break apart only a few days after use. I knew about the binding issue from readers' reviews. I thought that when I ordered this in August 2014, the issue would have been fixed already. The extremely poor binding does not do the author justice. The book was conceptually constructed with great thoughts. If I have to rate it solely by its contents, I would have given it a 4-5 stars. I never rated a book according to its package or binding. In general, I should not. This book, however, is a special case because from start to end, it is designed with great care to present the user with a beautiful copy, in addition to leaving the reader a pleasant learning experience. __________________________________________

The product itself is amazing. Well written, gorgeous design. It deserves a 5 star. HOWEVER, I'm quite disappointed that I received a paperback, despite paying for a Hardcover. Upon checking the posting, it says Hardcover is currently out of stock. So I am at a dilemma right now... I don't want to return this book because I need it now, but I wish I could get a refund for the extra cost I paid for the Hard Cover. I've been going around the links in Amazon, but couldn't find a way on how to get a refund for the extra cost I paid for the hard cover. Again, its not the author's fault, so I am keeping a 5-star rating for the product itself. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn JavaScript, just be careful not to buy an out-of-stock product, else you might get charged for a higher price. I hope Amazon or the seller would contact me about this.

O livro chegou muito rápido e em perfeitas condições.

Etant développeur et designer front-end , je désirais mettre des mots sur des techniques que j'utilisais déjà, structurer ma façon de programmer javascript et en bonus parfaire mes connaissances. J'ai trouvé ce dont j'avais besoin dans cet ouvrage, des explications claires, concises, pas après pas avec une première partie uniquement dédiée aux bases du langage Javascript natif et une seconde reprenant les techniques apprises en se facilitant la tâche avec jQuery pour la manipulation de la DOM . Chaque étape propose une partie théorique et en regard une mise en pratique par le code. La fin de chaque chapitre offrant un exemple complet. La cerise sur le gâteau est la formidable mise en page ainsi que les très riches illustrations qui procurent vraiment beaucoup de plaisir au lecteur. Je le conseille à tout qui a déjà des bases en programmation ou est au moins intermédiaire dans un autre langage et qui veut dès le départ avoir les outils nécessaires, ainsi que de bonnes pratiques pour envisager l'utilisation de Javascript et jQuery dans ses projets. Une base donc qui devra être complémentée par d'autres ouvrages plus poussés traitants d'aspects plus précis du langage ou rentrant plus en profondeur dans le code.
