What this book does
Section 1: The least you need to know about JavaScript to get the most from jQuery
To get you off to the right start, section 1 presents a crash course in the JavaScript skills that you need for using jQuery. Although you can't use jQuery without these JavaScript skills, most jQuery books don't include them.
This section is especially designed for programming novices. But even if you already know JavaScript, you'll probably pick up a few new skills as you skim through the chapters. (And our paired-pages format makes it easy to skim.)
Section 2: The core jQuery skills for every web developer
In this section, you'll learn how to use jQuery to create JavaScript applications like image swaps, collapsible panels, slide shows, carousels, user-friendly forms…and more…with far less coding than you'd have to do in native JavaScript.
To begin, chapter 7 presents the jQuery selectors, methods, and event methods that you'll use most often. Then, the next four chapters build on that base as they focus on effects and animations, DOM manipulation and traversal, forms and data validation, the many plugins that are available for jQuery, and how to create your own plugins. When you complete this section, you can go on to any of the 3 sections that follow.
Section 3: Enhance your web pages by using jQuery UI
Besides the core jQuery library, jQuery provides the jQuery UI (User Interface) library. This library helps you build features that your site visitors may appreciate, all with just a few lines of code. So this section shows you how to use jQuery UI to create widgets like tabs, accordions, and datepickers...interactions like draggable, droppable, and sortable...and effects like color and class transitions.
Section 4: Speed up response times and add content feeds with Ajax and JSON
Ajax and JSON are hot topics today. Together, they can be used to get data from a server and add it to a web page without reloading the entire page, which can significantly improve response times for users (if you've ever scrolled around a Google Map, you've seen this in action). But to be honest, the coding can be mind-bending. Fortunately, jQuery provides methods that make it far more manageable.
So in this section, you'll learn how to use jQuery with Ajax and JSON to deliver data to your websites. First, you'll learn the
basics. Then, you'll learn how to work with the APIs for websites like Blogger, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, and Google Maps to add popular content to your pages. This is a major use of Ajax and JSON…yet no other jQuery book shows you how to do it.
Section 5: Mobile websites made easier with jQuery Mobile
This section shows you how to use another JavaScript library, jQuery Mobile, to develop web pages for mobile devices with the look-and-feel of native applications. In fact, for jQuery users, there's no better way to develop mobile websites right now. And you can add it to your skill set any time after you've finished Section 2.
Who this book is for
You can think of jQuery as one of the 4 technologies that every professional web developer should master, along with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. So this book is for:
- web developers who know HTML and CSS but are new to JavaScript and jQuery
- web developers who have done JavaScript programming but are new to jQuery
- web developers who have used jQuery for special-purpose applications, but don't feel comfortable with it
- web developers who program in ASP.NET, JSP, or PHP on the server side and want to master client-side programming too
- web developers who have already read 3 or 4 jQuery books but still aren't sure how to use jQuery in real-world applications
The only prerequisite is a basic familiarity with HTML and CSS. We don't expect you to code HTML and CSS, though, so we provide that code for all of the examples and exercises in the book. Then, when you're ready to learn more, you can get Murach's HTML5 and CSS3.
What software you need
To develop JavaScript applications, you need:
- any text editor (this book recommends Aptana Studio 3, which is available for free)
- Mozilla Firefox (because of its debugger), along with the default browser on your system: Internet Explorer for Windows users and Safari for Mac OS
Although you can use any text editor with this book, a text editor that includes syntax coloring and auto-formatting will help you
develop applications more quickly and with fewer errors. That's why we recommend Aptana Studio 3. It's available for free, it can be used for entering JavaScript and jQuery code (as well as HTML and CSS code), and it runs on both Windows and Mac OS.
To test a web page, you can use the default browser on your system. But we recommend that you also test your pages in Mozilla Firefox, which includes a terrific debugging tool called Firebug. In practice, you should also test your pages in Opera and Chrome, or in any other browser that your website visitors are likely to use, but that isn't necessary as you learn. Again, all of these browsers are available for free.
To help you install these products, Appendix A provides the procedures that you'll need. In addition, chapter 1 presents a short tutorial on using Aptana, and chapter 4 shows you how to use Firebug for debugging pages that are rendered in Firefox.
The perfect companion book
Murach's HTML5 and CSS3 (4th Edition)
HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery work hand-in-hand these days, so our HTML5 and CSS3 book is the perfect companion to our jQuery book. It teaches you how to code HTML and CSS from scratch. And right from page 1, it shows you how to structure and design your pages using all of the most popular HTML5/CSS3 features, like semantic tags, drop shadows, rounded corners, gradients, accessible forms, embedded fonts, canvas…and more!
What people say about this book
"I finished up Murach's Javascript and jQuery, and I am beyond impressed. This is a great book for someone with a beginner's level of programming and will take you through not only the code of JavaScript and jQuery, but the reasons why. This is not to say it isn't an excellent book for moderate to advanced programmers - the projects help quickly identify the uses and structure needed to get you from a limited background in JavaScript to up-and-running in no time."
- Jeremy Johnson; Review posted at DreamInCode.net
From Dr. Dobb's Must-Have Books for JavaScript: "The aim of the book is to teach jQuery in an intensely hands-on way. It succeeds in this and probably provides that fastest way to learn and master the framework."
- Andrew Binstock, Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Dobb's
"There are quite a few jQuery books out there, but most assume that you already know JavaScript. This one doesn't. It begins with a crash course in JavaScript — a crash course which occupies almost 200 of the book's 564 pages, and six of its 18 chapters. If you're not up-to-speed on programming with JavaScript, you will be by the time you're done."
- David Bolton, Software Developer and About.com host Review posted at Dice.com
"Your books are so good that I threw away my assigned JavaScript and jQuery book for my class and bought Murach's JavaScript and jQuery (which has, by the way, helped restore my 4.0 GPA)."
- Blaine Simcox, Student, Michigan
"Several years ago, I was told that jQuery was worth learning. After wasting time and money on books and tutorials, I had not gotten very far. Murach's JavaScript and jQuery is exactly what I needed. After reading Chapter 7, I skipped to Chapter 17. Within two hours I had rebuilt a mobile website using jQuery Mobile. A friend was interested in themes and widgets, so I did Chapter 12 next. Once again within a short time I had rebuilt some pages using jQuery UI with very satisfying results. Finally, I got back to Chapter 9 about DOM manipulation. The information here solved a problem that had me frustrated. This is an amazing book!"
- Andrew McConnell, Developer
"One of my favorite parts of the book is on using JavaScript and jQuery to consume popular public APIs. This makes the book all the more practical from the real-world perspective."
- Jason Ong, Site Editor, ASPNETWorld.com
"I use jQuery and JavaScript every day, and for more than 20 years of web application development, this is one of the best books I've used. I thought I knew a lot about jQuery and JavaScript, but this book taught me more. Thanks for a really well done book."

Below are the answers to the questions that have come up most often about this book. If you have any questions that aren't answered here, please email us. Thanks!
What do I do if I get this error when installing Aptana Studio 3: "Failed to correctly acquire installer_nodejs_windows.msi fle: CRC error"?
This error message indicates that you don't have a version of Node.js on your computer that is compatible with the version of Aptana that you're installing. If you see this message, exit from the Aptana installer. Then, go to this website address to automatically download an installer file named node-v0.10.13-x86.msi: http://go.aptana.com/installer_nodejs_windows. Finally, run this installer file. After that, you should be able to install Aptana without any problem.
How do I create a project from the downloadable folders if I'm using Aptana Studio 3.4 or later?
The instructions on pages 34 and 35 of our book for creating a project from the folder that contains the downloadable applications for the book was written for Aptana Studio 3.0, which was the current version when the book was published.
Since then, Aptana Studio 3.4 has been released, and you can no longer use the same procedure to create a project from an existing folder. Instead, you have to import the folder as a new project.
To import a folder, use the File→Import command to start the Import wizard. Then, in the first dialog box, expand the General folder, select Existing Folder as New Project, and click the Next button. In the next dialog box, enter or browse to the folder that contains the project files. Then, enter a name for the project, make sure the Web – Primary project type is selected, and click the Finish button.
Why did some of the book applications stop working when jQuery 1.9 was released in January 2013?
The January 2013 release of jQuery, jQuery 1.9, had changes that affected applications that were written under earlier releases. Unfortunately, this release broke some of the applications in our book.
Fortunately, we discovered the problem early and fixed this in the downloads for this book on January 25, 2013. As a result, all of the applications should work unless you downloaded the applications before that date.
If you did download the applications before January 25, 2013, you should either download them again OR make the change that follows to any applications that don't work correctly.
Change the script element that refers to the "latest" release of jQuery:
Why don't the YouTube applications work?
When YouTube upgraded its Data API v1 to API v2, the applications described on pages 440-448 of our jQuery book stopped working. That's because Data API v1 no longer allows "free" connections to the YouTube Data API feed. YouTube now performs OAuth authorization by checking for the presence of a local file (typically named auth.js) that contains authorization credentials in the form of a client ID. The file containing the authorization credentials is then linked into the web page making the JSON request.
Also of note, the YouTube Data API v2 is now deprecated. The current version of the YouTube Data API is version 3.0. Because of the fluid nature of this API, YouTube applications like the ones in the book no longer make sense.
Why don't the Twitter applications work?
When Twitter upgraded to API 1.1, the applications described on pages 452-457 of our jQuery book stopped working. That's because API 1.1 no longer allows "free" connections to the Twitter JSON API feed.
Now, to access that feed, you have to register an application with Twitter, add an authentication token to your site, and consume both the OAuth class and the classic server_messages class. Because of these difficulties, Twitter applications like the ones in our book are no longer practical.

jQuery 1.9 corrections
The January 2013 release of jQuery, jQuery 1.9, had changes that affected applications that were written under earlier releases, causing them not to run. Unfortunately, the broken applications included a few of the applications in our book. For all the details, please view this PDF:
Corrections for jQuery 1.9
We fixed the downloads for this book on January 25, 2013. And we fixed the text in its second printing in September 2013. So if you have a copy of the book from the second or subsequent printing, these corrections won't be an issue.
To tell which printing your book is in, look on the back of the title page, below the copyright notation, to find a series of numbers like this:
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
The number on the right of this sequence tells which printing your book is. In this example, it's the second printing.
