Where to begin with this book, it is small in size but packs a very powerful punch. If you are tired of buying books that simply say we can help you learn x, y, and z with working code that never actually works then you need to check this book out. Not only is the code in this book organized but it works, and I really enjoyed the how to style along with the why it works follow up. It's also important to note that the author uses a python http server, it's not difficult to tweak settings to use your standard linux/apache setup, I didn't bother with IIS. A few of the UI elements are pretty straight forward, but when you start diving into the elements and adjusting them or adding to them to really grasp what is is and how it functions then this book really is a great cookbook.
A few things that I found really helpful about this book:
Date Picker - I really appreciated how the author added to this and made it unique, you could easily adapt this given the example in the book.
HTML5 - I really enjoyed the author's use of HTML5 and using Tab style setup, just about every program uses tab to shuffle through items and so should web apps!
Tab Menu - Tabs really shine in this book, I really enjoyed seeing them come to life so to speak.
Auto-Fill - Absolutely a must have for today's web generation, let's face it if it does the work for you then it's worth having around as a convenience.
I gave this book a 5/5 because it was simple to follow, had great structure, and contained practical uses that can be applied to a vast majority of today's web applications.

I got this book because I was pretty unfamiliar with jQuery UI. This book really got me up to speed quickly and I felt pretty good just a few chapters in. By the time I finished I felt ready to tackle what I needed to et done. I have gone back to the book a couple of times for reference now as well. Well written, good code, and well thought out.

This book is an awesomeness of JQuery UI, as its name tell about it, it is a completely cookbook written by an experienced web developer (Adam Boduch).
This book will steer you how to hack, add and improve the wonderful JQuery UI when it doesn't provide straight away the enough functionalities that your crafted web applications need.
Take a look to table of contents in the publisher website to know that I can wander across your reading and be quite sure that you learn some good stuff
