BTW feel free to use my quote in any marketing your publisher or you do. Viral is the way to go with this new computer book market.
I will get right over to your web site now. Wow nice! This is so helpful. May I ask about the reference guide. Is that a work in process? Is it okay to look at it? I am making good progress in the lessons. I was able to solve a big puzzle today on DOM vs jQuery and discovered that there are cool ways to do things in jQuery and there are ways to just get things down. I'm more in the 2nd group. I was able to finally figure out how to make 3 state button using addclass. I got a lot of help here from the experts, especially Rob Desbois and Michael Geary. http://www.whatbird.com/wwwroot/3statebutton_6.html Are you on the CBT list?

Yes, I do. Usually, I speak too much. ;-) Having authored about 25 computer books on programming and published about 200 (www.mitchwaite.com), I find Learning jQuery a real treasure. The way you guys tell the store is very well thought out, and shows an immense understanding of the person coming to jQuery. You go out of your way to help understand what makes it so different. Mitch, thanks a lot for the feedback on the book. I'm thrilled to know that you're enjoying it. I checked out your site when you first made an appearance on this list and ... Wow! You are prolific! And a real pioneer. Very impressive. I just hit chapter 4 page 67 were you introduce css positioning so I can being to see the use of styles better. The link on page 67 is broken. Sorry about that! They must have shifted their site around since we last checked. Anyway, here is a working link: http://www.wpdfd.com/issues/78/absolutely_relative/ Is there source code for the examples anywhere. It would be so helpful to be able to run each example and modify it. Yes, you can grab the source download or post errata at the publisher's website: http://www.packtpub.com/support/book/jQuery Also, we threw everything onto http://book.learningjquery.com/ in case you want to just see everything in action. I just created a forum there, too, in case someone stumbles upon the site and wants to provide some feedback, etc.: http://book.learningjquery.com/forums/ My only quibble and this is more the publisher in me, is that the book suffers on the illustration end. I think there are a lot of places where a drawing or two would have hammered the idea home. Excellent point. Also, as has been discussed in another thread, some of the pictures in the first few chapters didn't translate to grayscale very well at all. Thanks again for the comments! Karl
