Learn jquery

Tired of your websites looking years old? Want a bit of that "Web 2.0" look-n-feel?

I highly recommend web developers learn jquery. The overhead of the included JavaScript (15K) and the learning curve are both so minimal that there shouldn't be an excuse for not using it.

There are not a lot of books out there on jquery yet (at least not around May 2009), but I would recommend this one.

Learning jQuery 1.3.

It's a pretty good book. The index is bad, but the coverage of jquery in the book should be well worth the read.
