Libro un po' povero.
Spiega abbastanza bene le basi per la creazione di plugin per jQuery, ma approfondisce molto poco, preferendo (forse troppo spesso) indicare plugin già pronti, e sottintendendo che il lettore dovrebbe studiarsi quelli.
Buona parte di ogni capitolo è dedicata a quiz di verifica e a esercizi lasciati al lettore. Sarebbero e sono molto utili, ma danno l'impressione di essere stati messi per "gonfiare" il libro per arrivare a un minimo sindacale di pagine.
Il libro finisce, tra l'altro, con diverse (decine di) pagine dedicate semplicemente a una lista di plugin scaricabili e con una breve descrizione di cosa fanno. Utile, ma forse abbastanza limitato visto il fermento intorno a jQuery e alla scrittura di nuovi plugin.

The book Jquery Plugin Development is a well balanced between theory and practice, enough techniques to be understood and avoiding boring the reader with countless details. Though old already the principles are still valid. Worth to read
