This book has helped me so much over the past year!

Even though I didn’t win a copy it was well worth the $$$ and has already paid for itself 1000x

Chapter 6 – Events looks like it would be the best for me. i have watched the peepcode video on jQuery and i am still left wanting on a few areas and would love to check out this book.

Learning jQuery with examples mentioned in the book was quite easy enough. I had tough times to co-ordinate the new coding methodology, but all in all everything ends up fine.

It was easier than thought.

Great review, in fact one that prompted me to buy the book, which I went on to thoroughly enjoy. I would highly recommend it primarily for the audience that I would classify as ‘informed amateurs’, someone with sufficient interest to continue to read even when it get’s tough going. I loved the different perspectives on a subject that could in a less able author’s hands become difficult to penetrate.

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.
