10. jQuery Fundamentals by Rebecca Murphey
jQuery Fundamentals gives an overview of the jQuery JavaScript library. It aims to make you comfortable tackling problems. Example solutions to all exercises are given.
Chapters cover:
- JavaScript basics – covers the basic concepts of JavaScript, as well as some frequent pitfalls for people who have not used JavaScript before.
- jQuery basics – selecting elements, choosing selectors, refining & filtering selections, working with selections, CSS and more.
- jQuery core – utility methods, checking types, data methods, feature & browser detection, and more.
- Events – jQuery provides simple methods for attaching event handlers to selections.
- Effects – use the built-in settings, or provide a customized duration. You can also create custom animations of arbitrary CSS properties.
- Ajax – Asynchronous JavaScript and XML allows for web pages that provide rich, interactive experiences.
- Plugins – how to create a basic plugin, finding & evaluating plugins, writing plugins, and writing stateful plugins with the jQuery UI widget factory.
- Performance Best Practices – covers a number of jQuery and JavaScript best practices including selector optimization.
- Code Organization – looks at various code organization patterns you can use in your jQuery application and explores the RequireJS dependency management and build system.
- Custom Events – illustrates jQuery’s custom events system to make a simple Twitter search application.

11. Speaking JavaScript by Dr Axel Rauschmayer
This book has been written for programmers, by a programmer. So, in order to understand it, you should already know object-oriented programming, for example, via a mainstream programming language such as Java, PHP, C++, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, C#, or Perl.
This book focuses on the JavaScript language proper. For example, you won’t find information on programming web browsers (DOM, asynchronous programming, etc.).
This book teaches ECMAScript 5, the current version of JavaScript that is supported by all modern engines.
12. Human JavaScript by Henrik Joreteg
Discover a better way of thinking about advanced JavaScript application development.
You’ll gain a strong foundation for building amazing web app experiences in a logical way.
You’ll understand the philosophy behind how to make decisions with your app structure.
No magic frameworks. No monolithic toolkits. You’re going to work with proper, real-life JavaScript in a way you’ll understand, and with explanations that help you learn how to make great choices as you build your apps.
