Murach’s JavaScript and jQuery (4th Edition) eBook

This Murach book shows you how to do client-side scripting in a professional way, using JavaScript along with jQuery, the classic JavaScript library. Section 1 is a quick course in JavaScript, with a special focus on the skills you need to get the most from jQuery. Section 2 presents the jQuery skills that you’re most likely to need today, including how to create slide shows, image swaps, carousels, accordions, and forms. Section 3 lets you add to your JavaScript skills as you work with date and time objects, exceptions and regular expressions, browser objects, web storage, arrays, maps, and your own objects. Finally, section 4 takes you to the next level, with chapters on using closures, the module pattern, and ES modules; using Ajax with the Fetch API and Promise objects; and getting started with server-side scripting using JavaScript and Node.js.
