DOM Enlightenment Book Review

DOM Enlightenment Book Review

I joined the O'Reilly Blogger Review Program for books like DOM Enlightenment. It is an insightful and easy-to-read book about manipulating and traversing the DOM with JavaScript as opposed to an abstract library like jQuery. This is a great look at fundamentals and very useful for better understanding JavaScript libraries, like jQuery, Zepto, etc. In cases where you are creating an HTML 5 hybrid application that only targets a single browser, like Mobile Safari, you may prefer to work with the DOM purely via JavaScript. In these cases, DOM Enlightenment becomes an indispensable reference manual.

jQuery Mobile Facebook Panel

jQuery Mobile Facebook Panel

It just so happens that jQuery Mobile comes out with 2 killer features, responsive tables and facebook-style panels, just when I can use them on a project. Responsive tables in jQuery Mobile allowed me to rip out custom code to achieve a similar and much better solution, and now the new panel in jQuery Mobile provides a fantastic solution for displaying configuration screens, shopping carts, and other data that needs to be available, but not necessarily in the face of the visitor! You can read more about responsive tables in jQuery Mobile, but I am now loving the new Facebook-like panel, too!

jQuery Mobile and Responsive Tables

jQuery Mobile and Responsive Tables

jQuery Mobile is a fanstastic framework for developing mobile websites for smartphones and tablets, especially iOS devices like the iPhone and the iPad. In jQuery Mobile 1.3.0, the jQuery Mobile development team focused on responsive web design as well as a bunch of additional features like Facebook type panels, etc. I am particularly excited about their development efforts around responsive tables, which allows you to still use tables to hold data and have them display extremely well using jQuery Mobile on smartphones and tablets!

JavaScript & jQuery The Missing Manual Book Review

JavaScript & jQuery The Missing Manual Book Review

I grabbed a free copy of JavaScript & jQuery The Missing Manual as part of the O'Reilly Blogger Review Program. I recently just read HTML 5 The Missing Manual and really enjoyed it, and I wanted to see if all The Missing Manual books were just as good. As it turns out I really enjoyed JavaScript & jQuery The Missing Manual. Although I thought the first 3 chapters on JavaScript were rather boring and un-necessary, the rest of the chapters on jQuery provide a really good introduction to jQuery for beginners. The author begins each chapter by introducing you to some jQuery concepts and then walks you through one or two interesting tutorials on how to apply those concepts. This concepts - tutorials pattern continues throughout the book chapter-by-chapter as sort of a jQuery Cookbook, which makes it both a worthwhile way to learn jQuery and apply it in your websites and web applications. Here is a quick book review.
