 Acknowledgments

I feel like I should probably thank Robert Banh, Michelle Lowman, and Anita Castro first. They put up
with my insane schedule, inability to make up my mind about the book's content, and my general
scattered work habits.
Mom and Dad, I've said it before, but thanks for everything. I couldn't have done it if you hadn't
been willing to put up with my many identity crises.
Nate, you keep me motivated, as usual, by continually doing cooler things than I'm doing. Kyle,
Scott, Mike, Harris, Rhino, Amie, Shannon: thanks for forcing me to be social and leave the house every
once in a while. Checkers, thanks for setting up the tee times.
Of course, I need to thank Drew, Henry, and Tom for joining the Ennui Design team and allowing
me to take the time to write. It's great to have people with whom I can bounce ideas around; you
probably don't know how much it means to me to have people around who understand what I'm talking
about (and, more importantly, actually care about the subject matter).
To Peter, Rose, Molly, Lucy, Kathryn, Jenna, and the rest of the girls at Caffé Dolcé, you're as
responsible for this book reaching completion as I am. Thanks for remembering my order on days I was
too frazzled to articulate.
Everyone at the Montana Programmers meetups — Ian Merwin, Wes Hunt, Monica Ray, Nathan
and Jennifer Stephens, Christopher Cable, Ashton Sanders, Andy Laken, Scott Rouse, Nora McDougall-
Collins, and everyone whose name escapes me right now — I have more fun at those meetups than I do
at most gatherings. Thanks for showing up and proving that even Montana can have a developers'
community.
And of course, to the online community — Rob MacKay, Andrea La Valleur, Mike Conaty, Chris
Coyier, Paul Barrick, Brenley Dueck, Bill Joseph, Brad Smith, the DCTH crew — thanks for providing a
welcome distraction when I needed a minute, sharing insight, and reminding me that there are geeks
everywhere; you just don't see us because we're all inside on the computer.

Getting Comfortable with

jQuery
In the first part of this book, you’ll be getting familiar with the history and basic
capabilities of jQuery. By the end of this section, you will have a general grasp on the
overarching concepts behind jQuery, and—after you’ve revisited object-oriented PHP
in Part 2—you’ll be ready to tackle the exercises in Part 3 (where you actually start
building a real-world project with jQuery and PHP).
CHAPTER 1

■■■

Introducing jQuery

To fully understand jQuery and its applications in modern web programming, it's important to take a
moment and look back at where jQuery came from, what needs it was built to fill, and what
programming in JavaScript was like before jQuery came around.
In this chapter you'll learn about JavaScript libraries and the needs they seek to fulfill, as well as why
jQuery is the library of choice for the majority of web developers. You'll also learn the basics of jQuery,
including how to make the library available for use in your applications and how the core of jQuery—its
powerful selector engine—works.

Choosing jQuery over JavaScript

JavaScript has a reputation for being rather unwieldy in web applications. A lack of consistent browser
support, difficult debugging, and an intimidating syntax can make learning JavaScript feel impossible.
To be fair, all the things that make JavaScript seem difficult are part of what make it so powerful, but
that doesn't make it any more inviting to a novice web developer looking to add JavaScript to his arsenal.

Understanding JavaScript Libraries

The steep learning curve associated with JavaScript has been a sore spot for developers for years, and as
frustrations grew, several ambitious developers started building JavaScript libraries, also referred to as
JavaScript frameworks.
These libraries aimed to simplify the use of JavaScript to make it more accessible to both new and
existing developers by creating easy-to-use control functions that remove some of the heavy lifting from
everyday JavaScript tasks. Libraries are especially useful in the realm of Asynchronous JavaScript and
XML (AJAX) due to the complexity of performing the same tasks using straight JavaScript.
JavaScript libraries aim to provide a simpler syntax for common tasks, which translates to a faster
workflow for developers and a less intimidating learning curve for beginners. They also eliminate some
of the headache involved in coding cross-browser JavaScript by doing all the compatibility checks for
you within their built-in methods, which is a huge time-saver when coding.

3
 CHAPTER 1 ■ INTRODUCING JQUERY

■ Note The difference between using jQuery's AJAX tools versus the straight JavaScript method will be explored
later on in Chapter 2.

A good number of JavaScript libraries are available. Several of the most popular currently in use are
Prototype (http://www.prototypejs.org), MooTools (http://mootools.net), Yahoo! UI Library
(http://developer.yahoo.com/yui), and the focus of this book, jQuery.

Understanding the Benefits of jQuery

Every JavaScript framework has its own benefits; jQuery is no exception, providing the following
benefits:
• Small file size (approximately 23KB as of version 1.4)
• Extremely simple syntax
• Chainable methods
• Easy plug-in architecture for extending the framework
• A huge online community
• Great documentation at http://api.jquery.com
• Optional extensions of jQuery for added functionality, such as jQueryUI

Understanding the History of jQuery

The brain child of developer John Resig jQuery was first announced at BarCamp NYC in early 2006 (for
more on BarCamp, see http://barcamp.org). Resig noted on his web site, that he created jQuery because
he was unhappy with the currently available libraries and felt that they could be vastly improved by
reducing “syntactic fluff” and adding specific controls for common actions
(http://ejohn.org/blog/selectors-in-javascript/).
jQuery was a big hit in the development community and quickly gained momentum. Other
developers came on to help refine the library, ultimately resulting in the first stable release of jQuery,
version 1.0, on August 26, 2006.
Since then, jQuery has progressed to version 1.4.2 (at the time of this writing) and has seen a huge
influx of plug-ins from the development community. A plug-in is an extension of jQuery that isn’t part of
the core library. You'll learn more about (and build) jQuery plug-ins in Chapter 10.

Setting Up a Testing Environment

Because there’s no better way to understand a new language than to just get your hands dirty, you’ll
need a testing environment to try out some introductory exercises with jQuery. Fortunately, setting up
this testing environment is a simple two-step process: install Firefox, and install Firebug.
