JavaScript and jQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development

At first when I am trying to buy a book in js and jQuery in 2025, I came across this, the book is written many years back. I was little hesitant about old content. I finally bought it. This books covers fundamental concepts very very well, they will dig deep into those. I recommend everyone to read this book. The book is very very interactive and interesting to read.

Thank Your Dear Jon Duckett sir for writing this book. This book is amazing, wonderful, excellent and many more good things. prior reading this book i had questions in my mind that how website (DOM) works, this books explains me each and every thing gradually. I will always be grateful to this book. Respected Jon Duckett Sir kindly keep writing for us, we are waiting for your next book. Thank You so much.

One of the best javascript and jquery book out in the market. Perfect book for beginners and professionals to write the code in proper way and optimize you scripts by proper following coding standards. When I opened this book I was stunned by the way they have put up all tiny details in illustration magazine format. I have already completed this book. Once you start reading you will never get bored to take a break too.

Best book I've ever read on JavaScript best for beginners but the version is too old I bouth this book for 2000 INR. This book contain Vanilla JavaScript book was written in 2014 before ES6 so I'll be better if you not buy this if you want it for ES6. Although the books concepts are greate and good for anyone.

Covers almost everything you need to learn Javascript, jquery and Ajax. The best book on the topic.

Good quality book. I bought a paperback and it's good quality.the book itself teaches from beginning to assignment making.

Book quality is awesome.

Javascript is One of the Programming language and this book explain it smoothly step by Step

A great and convenient source to understand the scripting language of web. Readily understandable analogies, visualizations and examples. Accessing information happens in miliseconds in todays world but having a phsycial copy and being able to cross-read it feels both nostalgical and nice.

Recomendo. Livro rico em inforgráficos, exemplos simples e criativos, ótima qualidade de impressão. Ideal para todos os níveis de conhecimento.

The product itself is amazing. Well written, gorgeous design. It deserves a 5 star. HOWEVER, I'm quite disappointed that I received a paperback, despite paying for a Hardcover. Upon checking the posting, it says Hardcover is currently out of stock. So I am at a dilemma right now... I don't want to return this book because I need it now, but I wish I could get a refund for the extra cost I paid for the Hard Cover. I've been going around the links in Amazon, but couldn't find a way on how to get a refund for the extra cost I paid for the hard cover. Again, its not the author's fault, so I am keeping a 5-star rating for the product itself. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn JavaScript, just be careful not to buy an out-of-stock product, else you might get charged for a higher price. I hope Amazon or the seller would contact me about this.

We recently started using this book at Portland Code School after several of our students recommended it to us. Their copies are dog-eared and infused with post-it flags. This introductory information is available literally everywhere on the web and the question you have to ask is, "Why bother with a physical book?" The answer to that question is simply to experience the hardcover version of this book. It's beautiful. Inviting. Its page layout and graphic design tell you that you are embarked upon something professional and yet easy to learn. The text is written with a simplicity that doesn't talk down to the reader. This book is clear in its explanations and yet comprehensive in its coverage of the subject. As much as I love the "Head First" series of books, some times they are too precious. This book is just as inviting, but it condenses the information and covers a lot of ground. At first I was concerned that, like some coffee table books, the coating on the pages showed finger prints. I didn't want to mar the excellent presentation. But, as I continue to use it, revisiting pages and reviewing elements of the language, I started to view them as footprints in the snow -- reassurance that I had been here before and already knew something about the subject. They were one of the many ways I can track my progress. There will come a time that I don't visit these pages as often, as always happens with introductory books to technical subjects. And, I will also buy an ebook version of this when it's available so I can track along with my students without having to carry paper around as they experience and enjoy the textbook for the first time. But I will continue to recommend this, as a physical book, to students of JavaScript.

Etant développeur et designer front-end , je désirais mettre des mots sur des techniques que j'utilisais déjà, structurer ma façon de programmer javascript et en bonus parfaire mes connaissances. J'ai trouvé ce dont j'avais besoin dans cet ouvrage, des explications claires, concises, pas après pas avec une première partie uniquement dédiée aux bases du langage Javascript natif et une seconde reprenant les techniques apprises en se facilitant la tâche avec jQuery pour la manipulation de la DOM . Chaque étape propose une partie théorique et en regard une mise en pratique par le code. La fin de chaque chapitre offrant un exemple complet. La cerise sur le gâteau est la formidable mise en page ainsi que les très riches illustrations qui procurent vraiment beaucoup de plaisir au lecteur. Je le conseille à tout qui a déjà des bases en programmation ou est au moins intermédiaire dans un autre langage et qui veut dès le départ avoir les outils nécessaires, ainsi que de bonnes pratiques pour envisager l'utilisation de Javascript et jQuery dans ses projets. Une base donc qui devra être complémentée par d'autres ouvrages plus poussés traitants d'aspects plus précis du langage ou rentrant plus en profondeur dans le code.
