What is the best way to learn jQuery? [closed]

Answer 1

Nettuts has some very nice video tutorials, a great place to start at. jquery for absolute beginners

Answer 2

Read through every single section of this: http://api.jquery.com and you will know just about everything about it--not all the best practices, though... those come with time and experience. Your best bet is to think about something you want to do and then just do it while utilizing different pertinent parts of jQuery.

I originally learned using http://visualjquery.com/ but that hasn't been updated since 1.2.6 (because it is now the aforementioned api.jquery.com). I wouldn't be where I am with the library today if it weren't for those two websites (thank you Remy Sharp!).

Answer 3

I learned jQuery by reading 4pages article from php magazine. After short introduction just try demos form jQuery docs - that really is the best way. Don't waste time for reading books, it consumes a lot of time, and after that you will still have to test it yourself.

Answer 4

JQuery in action is the best book on this topic.

Answer 5

I learned jQuery through reading a book called jQuery: Novice to Ninja. For a time, the PDF was freely downloadable, so I figured 'what the heck', but it was actually a really good book and was a very easy-to-read and pretty thorough examination of what jQuery can do for you. I recommend it!
