[jQuery] Re: jQuery book status?
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.

For a book about some of the methods for creating the base functionality of jQuery without jQuery, that is the methodology behind jQuery, check out Resig's Pro Javacript Techniques. - jake On 6/20/07, Fred Janon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Karl, Is the book about using jQuery only or also about how the internal workings of jQuery?

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).
