Ask HN: Best jQuery resources?

13 points·sayemm··12 comments

I'm learning jQuery now and thought I'd ask if you guys have any sites/books/resources in mind that have helped or any other useful tools too.

I've been going through the docs on jquery.com and also this sitepoint ebook that was posted a while ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1506274

Thanks

thanks mister

I think http://www.learningjquery.com/ is one of the better (besides the official site) all-around jQuery site. You can filter posts by beginner/intermediate/advanced to meet your skill level.

14 Days of jQuery series is pretty good too. http://jquery14.com/

Also, stay away from things like "30 Most Amazing jQuery Plugins to Make Your Site Mind-Blowing-ly Awesome".

bookmarked. awesome sites, thank you very much kayla

http://jqapi.com has a better search feature than api.jquery.com (handy when you're looking for functions like each() and is())

ah pretty handy, thanks dude

This is great. Thanks for asking this question, because I am finding these recommendations to be a resource, too.

no problem! gotta love how helpful the HN community is, it really takes me back sometimes

jQuery documentation is the best: http://docs.jquery.com/Main_Page

thanks, awesome - that's what i've been going through so far

i know javascript/DOM, was just putting this out there to dig around for any other cool resources/tools some of you might be using

Here's the last ones recommended on HN. Some other good ones here.

I added in a good Javascript book -- JQuery is awesome, but you have to be careful with performance issues.
