Fantastic
I'm very stingy with five-star reviews but this book deserves it. You won't learn everything there is to know about jQuery, much less all of the available extensions, but you will learn a lot, and not just basics either. What I particularly admire is the way that the authors keep layering in one nifty but tricky little tip after another, whether it's a selector or an animation technique or a method of processing the elements in a selection. Such tips could be presented in various topics through the book, so the order and the pace of presenting them are important authorial decisions. This book gets it just right. There were times when I was studying the source code and struggling to understand, but the authors are always very careful not to throw more than one of these difficulties at you at a time.
Sitepoint books have varying reputations, for some good reasons. Take my word for it, this is one of their best. If you know some jQuery and you want to learn more, get this book, read it, and play with all of the examples as you read.
Do be sure to check the errata, there is one particular lapse on the part of the authors, they did not test with the right version of jQuery before going to press, and I got stuck on it for some time before I checked the errata.
Great for learning but not for reading at lunch
If you are a total rank beginner to jQuery and do not understand CSS that well this book is like a ride that starts out smoothly gets but is missing a few safety straps, so you flop around in confusion, but if you can endure the confusion you will finally GET it, and the ride will be worth it. Persevere and you will end up being a ninja.
The book gets you excited over all the great things you can do with jQuery but the title contains a bit of truth that should serve as a warning.
The minimum skill level is you must be a novice NOT a rank beginner with jQuery. Some minimum skill, knowledge is expected. You should also know something about CSS. If you are and old CSS hand, that alone should get you by just fine.
If you understand CSS your journey through this book will be much easier.
Omissions and a few errors produced a lot of head scratching. These omissions would probably not be noticed by someone who is used to CSS. The book builds on previous concepts so if you do not understand something it is necessary to stop and do research until you do, or at least feel you sort of get it, or the confusion will only grow.
Snippets were the biggest problem. It was not clear were to put the snippets, new code was not well differentiated from code that was already there previously.
I myself, like to go out to lunch, nursing a cup and sit somewhere away from home distractions to read and learn but the learning curve became very steep due to omissions and some errors. I found it necessary to go home and look at the downloaded code or reported errata to find the missing info. Sometimes it was not clear where to put a code snippet, sometimes there were errors. In the chapter on animation queue - A difficult chapter for me - there was this comment that said a particular animation would NOT run but I could not see why it would not run and finally had to concede that this comment was in error, and sure enough the author confirmed it when I submitted it as a possible error.
Normally I read through a book at about 100-200 pages an hour, but this book had me re-reading to make sense of things so much that I would say my average reading rate was down to six pages an hour.
The good thing is that the book IS WORTH THE CONFUSION. Once I started actually USING the book for doing sites everything started falling into place in my mind. This also paved the way for me when I started out with applying CSS to my site. I found out how fun and cool CSS was because jQuery selectors uses CSS style selector syntax. Selectors is a fundamental part of both and by learning one will greatly help you in learning the other. %90 of it is identical.
This book remains on my shelf as a frequent reference, and I am in the process of reading it again, this time being able to understand it a lot more.
So, when reading this book as your first exposure to jQuery and are only a novice to CSS I recommend that you do your reading with a computer handy. Do NOT give up!
And by all means, practice these things.
Good Book - No Code Download...
I just wanted to tell everyone that there is no code download off the books' support site.
You're required to submit a request for the code to be sent to you, but it never arrives. (I have a Gmail account and I checked my Spam)
Their support site has a FAQ section that states:
"I requested the code archive and didn't receive any email. What now?
The email should arrive within 10 minutes. If it has not arrived by then, check your spam filter to see if the email was filtered. You can try requesting the code archive again with a different email address, if you have one."
What a PITA... Can't they just post the code like WROX or Apress?
Had I known this before hand, I would have gotten a different book on jQuery, which is my advice.

Excellent Choice.
I've been leaning a little hard on Flash for some time now and decided to open my world to doing some exciting things without the confines of the Flash plug in. I'd stumbled on jquery occasionally and decided it would be a useful area to pursue in greater depth. I had no idea how far reaching and powerful it could be and this book is the perfect introduction. Very readable, entertaining, and above all highly educational. So glad I opted for it.
A fair treatment.
I agree with most of what the other reviewers have said. However there has been one problem that has given me some heartache. The author uses anonymous functions throughout the book. "Java" one of the other language that I am familiar with discourages the use of anonymous classes which are about the same idea. They are hard to read and are not good for code reuse.
Three thumbs up though, he did give me some pretty useful code for my websites.
