All Chapters seem very informative.

Though I consider myself fairly adept at jQuery, I know I have a lot of room for improvement, especially in the area of Manipulation (Chapter 4). Now that almost every site I create requires a substantial amount of AJAX and manipulative trickery, I’d like to streamline and optimize my current practices and really strive for a higher level of professionalism in my code.

Thanks for the opportunity Fuel folks!

Just saw that the person above me chose the same one I did: “Grokking jQuery chaining”. Probably cause who wouldn’t want to learn about “grokking”?

I’d love to read it all, of course.

Looks like a very useful PDF. Have been using jQuery for a handful of months, but I think I could learn plenty from the “Grokking jQuery chaining” chapter.

Thanks!

I think Chapter 9 – Performance best practices, would be the chapter with the most value to me. And perhaps Chapter 6. great book, would love a copy…

I agree with other comments that this book looks great. Up to this point, most of my work with JQuery hasn’t inlcluded using events. So, I’d say Chapter 6 – Events would be the most helpful to me.

Toss up between Chapter’s 8 & 9,..I’ll choose 9! Looks like a good read.

Chapter 9 – Performance best practices to help write faster cleaner code! Thus, go back and rework some of my initial projects

I’d learn most from Chapter 8 – Plugins.

This book looks awesome, I think I could pick up a lot from the whole thing but Chapter 9 – Performance best practices seems like it would be the most interesting topic for me.

It would have to be Chapter 6 – Events. I use Drupal and have been trying to slowly edge my way into using more event handling for lots of this, this book and particularly would be a great help in doing that.

Cheers.

By far, it would be “Chapter 6 – Events”, binding and custom events would be the one i’d learn the most from ..

Nice giveaway, Fuel !

Definitely Chapter 11 on AJAX. But Chapter 8 on plugins is probably a close second. There’s really a rich ecosystem out there.

I think the chapter 8 about plugins will be my favourite one and will help a lot in my jQuery journey
