Yep, it's true, Jörn! Jonathan Chaffer wrote it. I read it. Then I
said, "Wow, that's an awesome Appendix dealing with closures!" And I
heard myself say it. ;-)
Hello all,
I'll be posting an entry on the jQuery and Learning jQuery blogs
tomorrow morning, but I wanted you to hear it first: Jonathan Chaffer
and I have been writing a book on jQuery. In fact, if you read the
post to this list about "AJAX and Events: Handling the Handlers" and
"Scoping an Event Binding Function," then you've already read part
of the book (well, part of the first draft, at least).
I've been keeping my mouth shut about this for months now, so I am
very relieved to be able to announce the book at last.
Here is the blog entry...
***********************
For those of you who have been following the jQuery blog the past
couple months, you may have noticed John Resig’s mention of a secret:
“There’s a jQuery book in the works!” Well, I am thrilled to be able
to leak a little more information about that secret.
For the past few months my friend Jonathan Chaffer and I have been
hard at work on the book, and everything is progressing well. Our
writing is being supported by a stellar group of technical reviewers,
some of who are members of the jQuery development team. We’ll be able
to divulge details about the book’s contents soon. The publisher is
readying a web page for it, so as soon as that is completed, we can
give you the full scoop.
About the Authors
Jonathan Chaffer is a long-time Drupal contributor and creator of
Drupal’s CCK. He also likes to make up bizarre band names and album
titles, based on snippets of conversations he overhears, at Tweak the
Viking (www.tweaktheviking.com). Karl Swedberg (that’s me) is a
jQuery zealot who runs the Learning jQuery blog and still tries to
keep a bit of his former career as an English teacher alive at his
other blog, English Rules (www.englishrules.com). Jonathan and Karl
work together at Structure Interactive in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
where they have been given a lot of freedom to use jQuery, as well as
standards-based, semantic HTML & CSS, in many of their projects.

Cheers,
--Karl
