I read this book last year when I finally decided to stop fighting progress and learn JQuery. Definitely a good, solid, introduction to the framework and got me up to speed very quickly. I wouldn't say it brought me to 'Ninja' level but it gave me a great JQuery foundation on which to build. Great book for someone with programming experience wanting to upgrade their skills with JQuery.

I read this as a PDF on the Kindle so a lot of the code snippets came out very poorly, however it was readable. This book quickly gets you up to speed on jQuery. I would not say it got me to Ninja - however I did skip over some of the more advanced examples as I did not require the level of power.

It's a nice book although it's not quite to "ninja" ... more like to "basic level". I got almost everything explained in the book from just skimming through API docs and playing with jQuery for a day. This is probably not for very advanced developers ;-)

Book was a good introduction to jQuery. I found myself skimming at parts simply because I didn't care about some aspects that it was showing. If I had more experiance with web development I probably would have given this book a higher rating.

Today jQuery is a fundamental part of web development.
I found this book complete, clear and rich of interesting real-world samples.

A guide to JQuery that does quite a bit of handholding. More experienced individuals will most likely skim it for ideas on what JQuery can do then keep it around for those times when you are could use an example or two on how to do something. The client conversation structure was a bit annoying. For me as someone who isn't a designer the book was "meh". A designer might find the pace much more suitable. I'll keep it around as a reference.

My first ever web design book. Very funny language and it explains everything. A quick dive-in into the hit hot JQuery.

I heart jQuery! It makes Javascript accessible to masses of muddle-pated, middling-abled, middle-agers like me. I'll have to read several other tutorial/texts to understand it all, but this is a good intro.

A decent intro to jQuery and how to execute some popular elements and effects.
