WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
This book is aimed at three groups of readers:
- Experienced server-side web application developers looking to move more heavily into the client side using the world’s most popular front-end library
- Experienced JavaScript programmers looking to ramp up quickly on jQuery
- Novice to intermediate jQuery developers looking to expand their jQuery knowledge into more advanced topics
This book is not aimed at beginners. For beginners looking to start from the basics of HMTL, CSS, and JavaScript/jQuery development, Beginning JavaScript and CSS Development with jQuery (Wrox Programmer to Programmer) by Richard York is a more appropriate choice.
WHAT THIS BOOK COVERS
Professional jQuery provides a developer-level introduction to jQuery as well as providing an in-depth look at more advanced features.

Building on that solid foundation the book will outline more advanced topics, including plugin development, unit testing with JavaScript and other advanced features of the library.
The book focuses on features available as of jQuery 1.7.1, but tries to make note of feature support in older versions of the library wherever relevant.
