recommends it for: any JavaScript programmer
If you do any JavaScript programming, you should really check out jQuery. And if you are going to seriously use jQuery, this book is invaluable. (If you do neither, move along, nothing to see here...)

The documentation for jQuery, while rather good for an open source project, tends to be a bit scattered and some things can be hard to find. Also, trying to use some advanced idioms from the online documentation can be hard to figure out. Lastly, some of the reasons why jQuery was put to...more

Awesome book. Includes just what you need, with no fluff. It is also language agnostic, with all examples being relevant.

I liked this book. A little on the theory side where I might want more real world examples though.
