My personal experience with JQuery began several years ago writing an inter-company web application. I wanted it to be a single page app (SPA). It was hard in several ways as I did not find much help online back then on how to make it a complete app and realize this book would be of great help to me today. By the way, this book serves as a great overall industry guide or even an accepted standard to writing SPAs. And it must be of no surprise because the book comes from an author who is from "the trenches". T. J VanToll has a special talent in technical writing successfully covering distinct topics of SPA. The book guides you through mastering the basics fisrt as simple UI elements commonly found in any web app, with a special emphasis on differences between various JQuery components. Then you will embark on extending some controls and even building your own variations with neat designs. The book comes to a culmination point with a real application developed which uses most of the skills covered + more as optimizations for speed and source code maintainability. In short, the material covered must be more than enough to conceive and deliver almost any kind of SPA.
