As one of the authors of jQuery Reference Guide, I'd have to recommend
that you not buy it, especially if you already have Learning jQuery
1.3. Some of the information in the reference guide is outdated, and
most of it can be found elsewhere. I still haven't gotten my hands on
jQuery UI 1.6 (though a photo I took is on its cover), but you should
know that a lot changed between 1.6 and 1.7. Also, 1.6 is compatible
with jQuery 1.2.x, while 1.7 is compatible with 1.3.x, in case that
matters.

Hi everybody,
Has anyone here read/ used these books:
jQuery UI 1.6 by Dan Wellman
jQuery Reference Guide by Chaffer & Swedberg
I am wondering which one is better for learning how to make front-end
interfaces for applications.
p.s- Learning jQuery 1.3 is a awesome book!
