I'm VERY proud to announce that the first jQuery book, Learning
jQuery, is now available for pre-order! jQuery Project Team member
Karl Swedberg & Jonathan Chaffer have produced a solid book that
will get you up and running with jQuery in no time.
To quote:
"This book begins with a tutorial to jQuery, followed by an
examination of common, real-world client-side problems, and
solutions for each of them. A detailed reference rounds off the
book, making it an invaluable resource for answers to all your
jQuery questions."
I'm placing my order today and I recommend every serious jQuery
developer to pick this up.
