For learning about jQuery, the best resource is the web. But you might want a book chapter or two to get started. I don’t have a suggestion that I really like. Here are two that I am providing mainly because they are convenient. Eric really likes the first, I am less crazy about it. I haven’t read the second as closely. I am placing both sets of chapters into the Canvas repository.
- JavaScript and jQuery, The Missing Manual. by David Sawyer McFarland. O’Reilly Missing Manual Series. (O’Reilly sales page). Chapters 4-6 on Canvas.
- Learning jQuery. Jonathan Chaffer and Karl Swedberg. Packt publishing. The book is available online from the library. Chapters 1-4 on Canvas.
These aren’t a formal reading assignment (yet) – but they will be really useful for the programming assignment coming up.
