Asked by Packt to Review Their jQuery Books

I've been very fortunate to have met some very smart people through my involvement with the jQuery Project and two of those are Karl Swedberg & Jonathan Chaffer. Apart from being really awesome developers, they're just all-around good people and so when Duane Moraes of Packt Publishing asked me if I'd do a review of their jQuery books, authored by Karl & Jonathan, the answer was easy.

I've started to read the books already and I do have to say that I'm immediately impressed. The style is similar to the way that Learningjquery.com is structured using real-world examples to get the concepts across. This should be a great read.

You can get more info below by clicking the images or the book titles and visiting Packt's website. My review will follow in the near future.

Awesome Stuff... I'll have to put them on my list of books to get into...

Any learning ExtJS books on the way?

I own them both.. found them to be very outdated. Not sure if any newer/updated editions are in the works

Thanks for the plug, Rey. You are too kind.
Kristin: the books are outdated in the sense that jQuery's API has changed quite a bit in the last year. Nevertheless, a lot of people have told me that they're still able to learn a lot from the books. We're in talks now with the publisher about a second edition of both books.
