JQuery Plugin Development in 30 Minutes : How to Build JQuery Plugins That Are Easy to Maintain, Update, and Collaborate On by Robert Duchnik (2014, Trade Paperback)
As an experienced jQuery plugin developer and the operator of a website devoted to jQuery education, I have had many opportunities to talk with other developers and understand what works and what doesn't when it comes to learning how to build plugins. This short guide is intended to quickly get you up to speed with core concepts, which enable you to start building plugins of your own. Experienced developers know that well-written jQuery plugins can reduce bugs, increase efficiency, improve collaboration, and save time. In "jQuery Plugin Development in 30 Minutes," I'll show you how to write clean and efficient jQuery plugins that are easy to maintain and collaborate on. While "jQuery Plugin Development in 30 Minutes" is intended for people who already have some experience with JavaScript and jQuery, most of the concepts in the guide will not require any advanced knowledge. Topics include: Creating a plugin Prototyping Generate, Init, and Destroy Handling events Plugin options Setters and Getters Styling, CSS, and themes Callbacks Browser and mobile support File organization and versioning Boilerplate I've also included bonus content, including sections on jQuery methods, utilities, selectors, and events, as well as a jQuery glossary. "jQuery Plugin Development in 30 Minutes" really is intended to be a short but productive read -- my intention is to avoid the fluff and filler that make up 80% of most programming books, and just get straight to the point The full table of contents is below: Introduction About This Guide Why jQuery Plugins?
