DESCRIPTION
Using JavaScript and the jQuery library, a skilled developer can make a web app do almost anything—but what if you aren't a developer? jQuery for Designers, a practical guide written especially for front-end web designers, shows you how far you can go with the JavaScript and CSS you already know, some creative ideas, and a little jQuery magic.
jQuery for Designers teaches you to create amazing web applications without drowning in code. It takes designs and features from interesting web sites and shows you how to build them using jQuery. Author Remy Sharp, host of the popular "jQuery for Designers" blog, explains every step in clear detail, making no assumptions of your prior knowledge.
This book is more than just a hands-on jQuery tutorial. It's a cookbook showing how common problems can be solved using jQuery. It guides you through numerous examples, and teaches you how to approach each one so that you'll recognize similar patterns in other web sites.
You'll learn how to:
- Use powerful features like Show and Hide
- Respond interactively with users
- Add Ajax-driven features to your sites
- Recognize and build on common design patterns
- Enhance the browsers default behavior
- Build creative, helpful, and beautiful animations
