This is an ok introduction, but after reading it carefully I don't feel that I am prepared to use the library effectively and I need to seek out other resources just to get started. It taught me enough to have some idea what I need to (but don't yet) know to be productive with jQuery.The book is only 151 pages and the intro chapter starts at 11. Real jQuery discussion doesn't actually start until 49, and there are numerous pages that are half empty, a few are totally empty. Add to that the VERY LARGE font that could have been typeset with a crayon. The content is just sparse.An example of a deficiency that really bothers me is a table of 18 jQuery custom selectors in chapter 5. Nowhere is it mentioned that the table provides only a partial list; I understood only that I was reading a list of the available selectors. But right after the table, is a set of 8 examples (generally a positive feature of the book). The second example shows use of a selector that is not listed in the table, which of course leads me to immediately question what else is missing. I now wonder how vast is the set of things that the book omits. Fortunately there are ways to investigate this online, but of course that is not why one buys a book (at least not me).Further there are enough editorial errors (extra or missing words) to distract, as well as a few code problems that can lead the reader astray. Maybe the code has been fixed in the online distribution, I have not yet checked. Being familiar with javascript helped me to recover from confusion in a couple of places, but the intended audience here appears to be the novice, and I feel sorry for those who study this carefully with the aim or learning from scratch.I did get an orientation and learn some useful things with this, which is why I am not rating one star. But if I am going to pay money for a book, it needs to better fulfill its purpose. Sorry, but this did not meet my expectations, no joy here. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leans Heavily on Templates *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2014* The Joy of JQuery finally helped me make sense of JQuery in a meaningful way, through useful examples. In fact, this was a rare book that benefited me most through taking the examples one at a time, in order.In order to ease the student into JQuery, however, easily available UI Templates are leaned on very heavily. The templates get the job done, but are often large and unsightly when applied to an existing website. That's not entirely the book's fault. It does free the reader/student up to learn the basics and get prepared for a deeper excursion into JQuery.Overall, I need to repeat that this was the first resource to make JQuery accessible to me in any meaningful way. I am incredibly glad to have found this book and worked through the exercise. I'd recommend it gladly to anyone else who is trying to make the mental shift between Javascript and JQuery. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ JOY is the key for beginners to learn things without hesitation *by T***O on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2014* So far this is the best jQuery book for beginners that I've ever read. Contents in this books are well organized and so easy to understand. The author also provided many useful resources outside this book for readers to dig further. For so long, I like to buy books, especially those "1000 page" books (so-called xxx bible), but the length of over 1000 pages really kept me from finishing any of them. But with 152 pages like this one, I can easily focus on the topics and keeps reading from the beginning to the end. And since there is only 152 pages, you can gain the total picture of what jQuery is about and how it works in a quite short time. And when you did, then you can move forward to either other online resources the author provided in the book or to read another advance book for further study. Therefore, I think the author did a very good job on helping people focusing on things they're learning. This book not just brought joy to me, but also helps me love what I'm learning and keeps going further without hesitation. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/24259275-the-joy-of-jquery-a-beginners-guide-to-the-worlds](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/24259275-the-joy-of-jquery-a-beginners-guide-to-the-worlds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
