Nice introduction to the javascript library, jQuery. Books on software become obsolete pretty fast. With the topic of jQuery we are right on the threshold of having enough interest to make publishing a bound, printed tome on the subject (potentially) profitable enough to overcome the cost of putting it together. Still, I imagine the margin of profit slim, and would have been surprised had the end result not been diminished by the constraints required to get it as cheaply as possible to press.

As a rails developer most of my experience with javascript libraries has been with prototype and scriptaculous, but I’ve never been quite happy with them. The helper methods built into ActionView make simple tasks a breeze, and I’ve played with the UJS plugin to improve the separation of content and behaviour, but even then the weight of the libraries and the comparable simplicty of tasks like iteration offered by jQuery has always made the grass over there look quite a bit greener.

jquery is the best thing since sliced bread. I really really love this javascript library. It makes visual effects and javascript seem easy. This is the book from some of the developers and the first to reach the world of print. I recommend this book highly to people that know what xhtml is. It is esoteric and only web based, but this is web 2.0 at its best.
