It's been long overdue I put in a good word for this text on jQuery. A year or so ago when I first learned of jQuery, and its magic, it was not possible to find a book on the subject.

This book, Learning jQuery by Karl Swedberg and Jonathan Chaffer is an excellent introduction into jQuery, and is a must have for any aspiring jQuery UI developer.

This is a must have for the new and experienced jQuery developers alike, and if you're like me, I have about 20 sections of this book dog-eared for quick access still to this day.
