Solid content, targeted to beginners
By bibliomanic
This book is a great place to begin if you want to learn the basics of using JavaScript for website design and interactivity. However, as books go this is not really a text for web developers and programmers as much as it is for web designers.
If you’re a novice in any of these fields, or maybe you've begun down the path of learning HTML and CSS, this is a logical next step. As McFarland notes: “This book is meant to familiarize web designers with the ins and outs of JavaScript and then move on to jQuery so that you can add really useful interactivity to a website as quickly and easily as possible.”
In general, I found this text quite rudimentary—a bit too much for me—although that shouldn't take away from the fact it’s also well written. Anyone wishing to start from scratch will most definitely find the book packed with valuable information. It also gets into using developer tools in Chrome to test JavaScript early, a great practice to note for a book like this. Too often, books teach people how to write code but not how to understand and debug it. Those latter skills are invaluable and the book does a good job of showing how to do this and what to look for.
The last half of the book got pretty awesome because it actually takes a look at AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), and breaks down topics like JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), the XMLHttpRequest object, and the HTTP protocol. Frankly, I wasn't expecting such a discussion in the book and on that I must highly commend the author and editors.
The truth is that outside of the fact the book was mostly basic in content, I didn't find many cons to the text. There were plenteous screenshots and code samples. I think given the breadth of subject matter and the target audience, this book does the trick. It would be a great text for students in basic HTML/JavaScript classes.
** Disclaimer: In the interest of full disclosure, I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review. My opinions about the book are my own and based on my many years of experience as a professional software engineer and web developer.

A well balanced collection of examples, background information, and technical details
By N. Krumpe
Do you already know HTML and CSS, but long to do more exciting things with your web pages? If you are willing to work at it, this book will take you from "never-programmed-before" to building websites with interactive forms, incorporating feeds from social networking sites (the book walks you through adding a Flickr feed to your site), and adding AJAX-based features (AJAX is the JavaScript-based bundle of technologies that make sites like Google Maps highly interactive).
The book is very thorough when it comes to JavaScript and jQuery. Programmers experienced in other languages might want to skip the 75 or so pages on the fundamentals of variables, if statements, and loops. But if you are new to programming, those pages will be very valuable. Note that the book will NOT teach you HTML or CSS...those are prerequisites, covered in just 5 pages before chapter 1 even begins.
Once you get past the introductory programming material, each chapter includes a well rounded combination of background information, technical details, and well chosen examples. For example, Chapter 4, "Introducing jQuery", provides a history of jQuery, discusses the various versions of jQuery, different ways to access it, and the relative merits of those different ways. I skimmed some of this background material, because I was anxious to see some examples, but later I returned to that material so that I could focus on some of those details.
It is the "well-roundedness" that makes this book so good. I have taught some courses in programming and sometimes find that some books are too code-focused, and others provide too much background. This "missing manual" book is nicely balanced, and would be a perfect book for a course on developing interactive web pages.
I am really impressed with the book, and would recommend it to anyone who is ready to take their static web pages to the next level.

Great for those not formally trained in programming, but useful for anyone who wants a great overview of jQuery.
By L. Wallach
As a web developer for some 20 years, I’ve read a ton of books on the subject. JavaScript and jQuery The Missing Manual was definitely one of the better ones, but there are a couple of things to note about it right off the bat so as to ensure that the book is geared towards you.
The author makes it clear in the first sections of the book that it is geared more for web designers rather than programmers. This doesn’t mean that you need to have design skills, but rather that this isn’t a book for programmers with advanced object oriented programming skills who are now taking a crack at web development. As such, you will find fairly basic explanations for programming concepts that keep things understandable for those who don’t have a background in programming theory.
Just as the book doesn’t assume a programmer’s background, it does assume facility with the two other aspects of web development that make up the trifecta of at least front end development, HTML and CSS. If you aren’t familiar with those, then you probably will be a little lost with this book.
As a web developer for some 20 years now, yikes, I do appreciate both the content and style of this book. While it can be fairly basic at times, especially when going over JavaScript (this book is really more about jQuery with only the most basic intro to JavaScript as a stand-alone language), it’s still very useful for myself (and I’m sure possibly still a majority of web developers) who never did actually study development formally, but came by it almost by accident, by hobby, etc. While I did skim some sections that are second nature to me, I did read some that were and they were written clearly, without treating the reader like and idiot, or “dummy” and using humor only very strategically, rather than as a stylistic crutch.
This book is particularly useful for developers who are not as knowledgeable as they would like to be with jQuery. It gives you a nice foundation of exactly how jQuery fits into your toolbox not just in helping you to manipulate your page easily and more dynamically, but making it more mobile-friendly and cross-browser compliant. While there are a ton of jQuery tutorials online, this packs a lot of the same info into one place and organizes the information in a nice way that gives you a good synopsis of the kinds of things you can do with jQuery.
There are small tutorials in each chapter, and I find writing the code from scratch makes it a lot easier to internalize what you are learning, as slow as it can sometimes be. There are also some longer tutorials towards the end of the book that can be challenging even for those with more development experience.
This version of the book (I haven’t read the previous ones) has a section on jQuery UI, which is really nice for those who are looking for a plugin to create a more of a web app approach to their site or application. The four chapters go into a decent overview of the plugin. jQuery plugins are so useful that I feel sometimes that my main use of jQuery is for the library of plugins that are available, and jQueryUI is not the only plugin that the book covers, but it is by far the most in-depth coverage.
About the only thing that I might have added to the book if I had my choice would have been a chapter on jQuery Mobile. jQuery and jQuery Mobile are separate libraries, but they are very related and are both developed by the same entity. Because mobile is such an important area of the industry now, it would have been nice to at least have a small foray into a very related library that is specifically designed to tackle mobile development issues.
But in general, I really liked jQuery and JavaScript the Missing Manual. It is not a book for everyone, obviously, but it definitely fills a niche in my library, which is already full of books on CSS, HTML, JavaScript, ASP.Net, etc. It structures a lot of the material one can find about jQuery online, picks and chooses what and how to tell the reader about and explains why certain functionality can be so useful with examples and tutorials along the way. It does let you really internalize how useful jQuery can be and how you can use it in so many ways to make your coding easier, and, as the book asserts (and proves!), more “fun”!
