Most JavaScript books on the market today were originally written in the 90's and spend too much time teaching outdated techniques then have added chapters at the end to say "Now forget that. Do it this way instead." The Murach books starts you on the right track from the get-go.It takes a step-by-step modular approach to introducing concepts that is very effective.Some of their example applications, however, do require more than a beginner's level of understanding of programming. If you want to learn JavaScript/jQuery from this book and do not have any prior programming experience, it is not hard to find simple examples of what they are teaching by using Google, etc. There are many JavaScript example sites available.Additionally, you should at least somewhat familiar with HTML5 and CSS3.The best book for this on the market today! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great book - but I have reservations *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2014* The first thing I tried with the book is the show/hide (accordion) which works great but not without a lot of work. You see, I am using Visual Studio 2010 with master pages and .Net does some interesting things with the html. For example, I used panels to contain areas of a form - that way I can enable/disable depending of the user's permissions. Well, .Net renders a panel control as a div and the JQuery code would hide these areas. Using Firebug I was able to see the actual control names so that I could use additional JQuery code to enable viewing of these panels. Quite frustrating actually.If you want to use the accordion feature and you're using Visual Studio, save yourself a lot of work and just use the Accordion control in the AjaxControlToolkit. I gave up on JQuery as long as I'm using Visual Studio.By the way - I have most all of Murach's books - love them! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars I found this text quite good, I really love the Paired-pages concept where code ... *by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2014* I have a kind of love-hate relation with this book. I come from a Java/Swing background and need to transition to Web applications development. This of course requires HTML/CSS/JavaScript and JQuery. I bought several texts on the subject, but this is the one I stuck with and finished. I found this text quite good, I really love the Paired-pages concept where code is displayed on the right hand page, and the left hand page is text explaining the code. If you understand the code, you can skim/skip the explanation. While this leads to a much thicker text, I really enjoyed this style and prefer it to traditional technical books. The explanations are clear, the sample code actually works, and the fact that the authors include 3 versions of the sample code (Completed, skeleton for you to follow along with the text, and exercises at the end of the chapter) is a testament to the amount of thought/work that went into all aspects of producing this book. The authors do a very good job of covering the information, and one must read the sample code very closely as the authors don’t always call out every significant detail contained in the code. There are lots of nuggets to be discovered in the code and if you spend the time to really understand them, they greatly enhance the learning experience.My only complaint relates to the e-book (I bought both the dead tree version and the e-book). First off, you must download their proprietary e-book reader which I guess is an effort to protect their copyright. BUT, the reader is doesn’t work well with Mac’s. The paired pages are off by one page which results in the content on the left side being described by the previous page, and the content on the right hand side describing the content on the next page. Sounds trivial, but will drive you up the wall when reading.Overall, if you want to learn JavaScript/JQuery there are any number of books out there that can help, but I am quite impressed with this text and recommend it without reservation. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/1961110-murachs-javascript-and-jquery-training-and-reference](https://www.desertcart.at/products/1961110-murachs-javascript-and-jquery-training-and-reference) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
