What is a good book for learning JavaScript then? I have heard:
JavaScript: The Definitive Guide
by David Flanagan
JavaScript: The Good Parts
by Douglas Crockford
Learning JavaScript
by Shelley Powers
I just want a basic understanding, for now, to help with the more
advanced jQuery stuff like
The Definitive Guide is a great reference book, and a terrible book to
learn javascript from.
Javascript: The Good Parts is a must read to understand the
prototypical nature of javascript, learn about jslint, and understand

For a basic understanding, DOM Scripting by Jeremy Keith and PPK on
JavaScript by Peter-Paul Koch are also good.

Just wondering what your opinions are on the best book out there, for
a beginner, to learn jQuery? I know HTML and CSS well enough, but have
no javascript knowledge.
Thanks
I've heard Learning jQuery 1.3 is a great read, too. ;-)

HAHAHA... I think you forgot your disclaimer. :p Karl is a co-author

Nonetheless, Learning jQuery 1.3 would be a great choice. :)

Damn, I missed the memo that there was a 1.3 version out and about !

Are there any problems when jQuery is updated, or is it solely no
information about new effects and stuff? I've only been using jQuery
for a couple of weeks, are new releases frequent?

A look through
http://docs.jquery.com/History_of_jQuery
may help answer both questions. Dot releases (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) can contain new
features and API changes that can require code updates, but it's always well
documented, as you can see by clicking on a few links on that page, that

they have a blog on the official site, which details changes to jquery
and any updates to popular/interesting plugins

Yes, but because he has no JS he will like have a tough time. I would
read a basic JS book first, then go for Learning jQuery 1.3.

Ah. I'm sure this sounds dunce-y because 'jQuery does it for me', but
is a solid grounding in Javascript necessary to a solid grounding in
jQuery (or at least, being able to use jQuery), or just good
practice?
I would guess, as a complete novice, that just using what is already
available may not
You can learn javascript as you learn jQuery. In fact, I would say it
is much, much easier to learn jQuery then do a deep dive into learning
javascript. And learning javascript extremely well isn't actually a
requirement for getting started in web application development any
longer because of
Best book for me were jQuery In Action and Learning jQuery.
