The other day someone kindly turned me onto a limited-time (it’s over)
free pdf copy of, “jQuery: Novice to Ninja” on the Sitepoint site <http://www.sitepoint.com/books/jquery1/
. If jQuery is of interest to you then you may want to put this one
on the short-list. It’s nicely written and while it assumes you have a
good grasp of CSS and HTML it’s not overly geeky so even a javascript
beginner should be able to get their head around it.
Oh well - It just shows that it pays to be patient.
And lucky. If I wasn’t given a heads-up it would have gone under the
radar. Makes me wonder how many other great deals I miss on a daily
basis. I don’t like to think too much about that. ; )
