Fred,
We've focused on jQuery from a user perspective, though we do
describe how things are implemented when it is necessary in order to
use them well. The most in-depth chapter from an implementation
standpoint is the one on developing jQuery plug-ins.

Karl,
Is the book about using jQuery only or also about how the internal
workings of jQuery?
Thanks

Hi Jim,
Thanks for asking!
The publisher just changed the "expected" date from July to June
because
we're actually ahead of schedule. :-)
Jonathan and I are reviewing the final proofs now and are hoping
to be
finished by the end of this week. The publisher estimates that the
hard-copy
book will take 3 weeks to produce once we have our final edits in
(so that
puts the release date back into July. The ways of the publisher are
mysterious). I imagine the PDF version will be made available very
soon
after final edits are in.
We're taking great care during this last proofing step to ensure
that we
eliminate typos and other errors (although I don't expect it to be
absolutely perfect. These things never are).
The book is already available for pre-order on the publisher's
site at
http://packtpub.com/jquery/book and on a few booksellers' sites,
including
amazon.co.uk (not sure why amazon.com doesn't have it up on their
site yet).
There is also a special deal if you want to buy the hard-copy/pdf
bundle.

Just curious if there are any updates about the jQuery book? The
site
says "Expected June 2007" and June is almost over :)
Thanks,
