From the Inside Flap

What this book covers
Chapter 1, What is jQuery About?, covers what jQuery is and why we should use and prefer it over other libraries. Some basic concepts, as well as some history, are covered in this chapter that acts as an introduction to the real topic of the book.

Chapter 2, Plugins Basics, is our first real approach to jQuery plugins. It provides an in-depth description of jQuery's own plugin architecture, providing some examples and sample applications for some of the most popular plugins.

Chapter 3, Our First jQuery Plugin
, as its name suggests, is about creating our first, working, and fantastic jQuery plugin! Step-by-step instructions are provided in order to guide even very beginners to the successful realization of their first plugin.

Chapter 4, Media Plugins: Images Plugins, discusses how images play a big role in today's Internet. Since we don't want to be left out, nor behind, in this chapter, we do our best to create a jQuery plugin that is very easy to use, customize, and at the same time, very effective and good looking. Besides, a gallery-like plugin will certainly enhance the user experience of our web pages!

Chapter 5, Media Plugins: Audio Plugins, shows us how, after images, sounds too can be used in a variety of different ways to hold the visitor's attention. Not only will we learn how to develop a jQuery-based audio player plugin, but we will also analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the HTML5 audio tag, compared to JavaScript solutions.

Chapter 6, Media Plugins: Video Plugins, presents a detailed guide to the creation of a video player plugin, and also offers some hints on how to better display video objects on a web page with the aid of JavaScript and/or HTML code.

Chapter 7, Form Plugins, shows a handful of different, but all extremely useful, plugins we can develop in order to improve our forms and offer an enhanced user experience on our website. A number of jQuery plugins are coded, step-by-step, and discussed to better understand what to use, how to use it, and in what circumstances.

Chapter 8, User Interface Plugins, offers many plugin examples and explains how the developer should tackle the problem, in such a way that the final result can be easily modified and integrated into an organized project.

Chapter 9, User Interface Plugins: Tooltip Plugins, explains that to get a fully working tooltip plugin, a series of preliminary steps is required. These include understanding mouse movement and events, positioning through CSS rules, and, last but not least, interaction with jQuery code to actually show and hide the tooltip element at our will.

Chapter 10, User Interface Plugins: Menu and Navigation Plugins, discusses how developing menu and navigation plugins with some additional effects to enhance their appearance and user experience is rather simple. The principles are explained in this chapter, as well as a couple of different approaches that we might want to use to obtain a menu plugin.

Chapter 11, Animation Plugins, discusses how fun-to-activate and nice-to-look-at animation plugins play one of the most important roles when it comes to user interaction. Be it a moving image or a bouncing shape, they are always worth the time spent coding them and actually amuse the visitor. We will learn how to make things move, bounce, fade in and away--nothing more, nothing less.

Chapter 12, Utility Plugins, shows how creating utility plugins (which can be easily used thanks to jQuery's own internal structure and which allow for a very effective integration) is a big plus. If we need some kind of function or method to take care of some repetitive task, we could speed up the process with just a few lines of code.

Chapter 13, Top jQuery Plugins, is a selection of the top 10 plugins. It briefly shows how they are customized on a website, their uses, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as provides a basic documentation that readers can easily use and refer to when (and if) they decide to mess with any of the plugins discussed in this chapter.

Appendix A contains some useful jQuery-related links and offline resources for further reference.

Who this book is for
This book is for anyone who wants to have a better understanding of the dynamics of jQuery
when plugins come into play, as well as for those who are willing to push jQuery to its limits
and develop awesome plugins to use on their websites. A little background information
about JavaScript and jQuery cannot harm anyone, but even very beginners can have a
chance to be introduced to the wonderful world of jQuery.
