Building a consistent, high-quality web user interface can be time consuming and technically challenging. jQuery UI radically simplifies the process by providing a robust set of widgets, interactions, effects, and themes that can used immediately. And, jQuery UI's powerful widget factory makes it a snap to customize existing components to match the look, feel, and function of readers' apps.
jQuery UI in Action is a practical guide to using and customizing jQuery UI library components to build rich, user-friendly web applications. Using numerous engaging examples, it moves quickly from showing users how to place a datepicker on the page to building a complete user interface that includes features like a contact form and shopping cart. Readers will master jQuery UI's five main interactions-draggable, droppable, resizable, selectable, and sortable-and learn UI techniques that work across all devices.
At the core of the book is a comprehensive guide to the jQuery UI widget factory, a battle tested solution for creating stateful jQuery plugins.
