Murach's jQuery, 2nd Edition

Today, jQuery is used in over 60% of the million most-visited websites, and that makes it one of the technologies that every web developer should master. The problem is that jQuery is difficult to learn, especially for those with limited programming experience. But now, this new edition of our jQuery book makes it easier than ever to learn how to use jQuery to create the dynamic user interfaces, fast response times, and special effects that today's users expect.

In brief, sections 2 and 3 of this book present the essential jQuery and jQuery UI (User Interface) skills for developing professional jQuery applications. With those skills, you ll be able to add all of the popular jQuery features to your web pages: image swaps, image rollovers, slide shows, accordions, tabs, carousels, and much more.

Then, section 4 shows you how to use Ajax and JSON to get data from a web server and add it to a web page without reloading the page. It also shows how to use Ajax and JSON with the APIs for websites like Flickr and Google Maps and with HTML5 APIs like Geolocation, Web Storage, and Web Workers.

What about section 1? It provides a four-chapter crash course in the JavaScript skills that you need to use jQuery. That means you don't need to know JavaScript before you start using this book, and that makes this the right book for programmers who aren't familiar with JavaScript, as well as for programming novices. This section also becomes the ideal reference for the JavaScript that's used for the jQuery applications in this book...or for any jQuery application.

The last section of this book shows you how to use jQuery Mobile to develop mobile websites. This requires little or no programming, and it's a great alternative when it's impractical to rebuild an established website with Responsive Web Design.

今天，jQuery在百萬個最受歡迎的網站中被使用超過60％，這使它成為每個網頁開發者都應該掌握的技術之一。問題是，對於那些編程經驗有限的人來說，學習jQuery是困難的。但現在，我們這本新版的jQuery書籍使學習如何使用jQuery來創建動態用戶界面、快速響應時間和特殊效果變得比以往更容易。

簡而言之，本書的第2和第3部分介紹了開發專業jQuery應用程序所需的基本jQuery和jQuery UI（用戶界面）技能。憑藉這些技能，您將能夠將所有流行的jQuery功能添加到您的網頁中：圖像交換、圖像滑鼠懸停、幻燈片、手風琴、選項卡、旋轉木馬等等。

然後，第4部分向您展示如何使用Ajax和JSON從Web服務器獲取數據並將其添加到網頁中，而無需重新加載頁面。它還展示了如何使用Ajax和JSON與Flickr和Google Maps等網站的API以及HTML5的API（如地理位置、Web存儲和Web Worker）。

第1部分呢？它提供了一個四章節的JavaScript技能速成課程，這些技能是您在使用jQuery之前需要掌握的。這意味著您在開始使用本書之前不需要了解JavaScript，這使得本書對於不熟悉JavaScript的程序員以及編程新手來說都是合適的。本部分還成為本書中用於jQuery應用程序的JavaScript的理想參考...或者任何jQuery應用程序的參考。

本書的最後一部分向您展示如何使用jQuery Mobile開發移動網站。這幾乎不需要編程，並且在無法使用響應式網頁設計重新構建已建立的網站時，它是一個很好的替代方案。
