JavaScript lets you supercharge your HTML with animation, interactivity, and visual effects―but many web designers find the language hard to learn. This easy-to-read guide not only covers JavaScript basics, but also shows you how to save time and effort with the jQuery and jQuery UI libraries of prewritten JavaScript code. You’ll build web pages that feel and act like desktop programs―with little or no programming.
