Embracing jQuery: User Experience Design is your complete guide to building modern dynamic web sites using jQuery, the extremely popular lightweight and efficient JavaScript library. As you'd expect, this book provides a thorough explanation of jQuery's syntax and grammar, and explains how to put together a wide range of popular effects and animations that you can use to add jQuery interactivity to your web sites. The book then goes further. Combining the skills of a web developer and a designer in writing the book, the authors discuss not just how to build functionality, but how best to employ it to create a greatly improved user experience without overdoing it and making your applications harder to use. The book concludes with a series of small case studies that put the theory into action and leave you with reusable templates for good code design.
