It's not dry like most other books on the subject, but colourful and inspiring, and written in plain minimalist language. It also uses good looking websites that you can download, complete with .css. These files are clean and uncluttered, containing just enough information to make them look great and allow you to try out the examples. If you're learning JavaScript, this is definitely a book I would recommend you to have in your library, especially for the section on jQuery which just makes it fun to learn. The colour pages have a quality feel to them. The only issue I had with this book was the binding. If you bust the spine, the pages will come out so look after it. I hope the author does a new version in years to come. Review: You MUST buy this book! - Why can't I give this more stars? Absolutely brilliant book. There's so much out there on the internet these days that there's little room for books, especially with front-end development. You have udemy courses, youtube videos and interactive tutorials, why bother with a book? I was thinking the same thing. I read a few reviews on this book and thought I'd give it the benefit of doubt. The book is beautifully designed. The content design is just excellent, I haven't seen a book like it. Jon Duckett smashes it out of the park, from vanilla Javascript to jQuery (which is a little out of date now, but still very very good). The book provides high-quality examples of working scripts with stunning designs. I love this book so much I bought the HTML and CSS book too. Very much looking forward to more from Jon Duckett. The book is as good as any online/interactive tutorial you will find on the internet. Can't recommend this book enough! ## Features - JavaScript Jquery - Introduces core programming concepts in JavaScript and jQuery - Uses clear descriptions, inspiring examples, and easy-to-follow diagrams ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 82,431 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 15 in Web Design Applications 51 in Web Scripting & Programming 291 in Computing & Internet Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,278 Reviews | ## Images ![JavaScript and jQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61u7pEHMZUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiring, visual guide *by D***O on 2 March 2016* This is a very readable book on JavaScript and jQuery largely because its focus is visual and because it has been expertly designed in terms of pictures, typography and layout.

Can't recommend this book enough! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended *by C***R on 11 July 2015* I have tried to learn Javascript and jQuery on a couple of occasions and I have never been entirely satisfied with my progress. This book is a revelation. The writing and the page style are just a delight. The stylish and colourful page layout makes the javascript code just jump out of the page at you. I have just finished the jQuery section (about halfway through the book) and I now feel very confident about it, both in using other (cleverer) people's plugins and developing my own scripts. The book covers the language and best practices and will be a useful reference as well as a tutorial for some time to come. There is more than this in this excellent book and I'm steadily working through the sections. I am confident with HTML, CSS, SASS and a couple of frameworks, and I do think you ought to be able to create a basic web page before attempting this book. I think this is one of my 'best buys' of the past few years. ## Frequently Bought Together - JavaScript and jQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development - HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites - PHP & MySQL: Server-side Web Development --- ## 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://botswana.desertcart.com/products/51604234-javascript-and-jquery-interactive-front-end-web-development](https://botswana.desertcart.com/products/51604234-javascript-and-jquery-interactive-front-end-web-development) --- *Product available on Desertcart Botswana* *Store origin: BW* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
