Murach's Javascript and Jquery: Beginner to Pro

If you are developing websites, you have to know JavaScript. There is no way around it today. And this latest edition of Murachs popular book teaches you how to code modern JavaScript that conforms to the ECMAScript standards, the way the pros do. At the same time, it teaches you how to use jQuery, the classic JavaScript library, to handle the DOM scripting that gives JavaScript so much of its power. And it works no matter whether you are a web designer whos coming from a background in HTML and CSS or a server-side programmer whos coded in languages like PHP, C#, Java, and Python. How is all that possible? Section 1 presents a 7-chapter course on JavaScript that will get anyone off to a great start, with a special focus on the skills that you need to get the most from jQuery. Then, section 2 presents the jQuery skills that you are likely to use, including how to create slide shows, image swaps, carousels, and accordions...how to validate the data in forms...and how to use plugins and widgets. At that point, youll have a solid set of JavaScript and jQuery skills. Then, section 3 lets you expand your skill set as you learn how to work with date and time objects, browser objects, web storage, arrays, your own objects, regular expressions, and more. Finally, section 4 takes your skills to a new level as you learn how to use ECMAScript modules, work with Promises and Ajax, and get started using Node.js. Complete coding examples, practice exercises, and Murachs distinctive paired-pages format (each topic is presented in a 2-page spread with text and illustrations) all combine to let you tailor the pace and content to your personal learning style.
