Javascript & Jquery The Missing Manual By McFarland, David Sawyer eBook – 2014
This is a book for newcomers to Javascript, but learn it well and you will be writing top quality code. It starts with the basics, then dives into usage of the jQuery toolkit. I find it much more readable than the other jQuery books. jQuery is a big complicated toolkit, so where should you start learning? This book takes you straight to the more useful bits. Sample code is at sawmac. 500 pages. This is an ebook, and the previous edition is available on paper.
