What people are saying
“Jorge Ramon makes writing your own app a piece of cake. As a person not with not a large amount of javascript experience I found the book educational and informative. Ramon takes a systematic approach explaining the logic of the code, as he walks you through creating your simple app. and styling it with jQuery theme roller. He also shows how to write tests for every step along the way. While the app focuses on client side app development, Ramon briefly shows, with code, how the app can sync with a server and offers both php and C# code examples. This is the perfect book for someone just getting started with jQuery application development. I will definitely be referring back to this book.”

“The book was very easy to follow, I liked way you explained the steps in detail, also thought the “where you are” section was great. The error explanations with the test suite were very detailed. Overall, I think this was a great book. This is how I usually like a book. Some books just have a lot of reading and not enough samples to follow.”
