Foreword

Since the irst jQuery homepage in 2006, an interacive example introduced visitors to jQuery

with a single line of code, and a buton to run that code. When clicked, it added a class to a

hidden paragraph, and animated that paragraph to become visible.

Today, in late 2010, the API documentaion has 15 methods listed in the Efects category.

These provide built-in animaions for fading and sliding, as well as various ways to create

custom animaions. When combined with color and class animaions and custom easings

that jQuery UI provides, there are even more ways to create animaions.

A good rule of thumb for using animaions is to use slides when showing elements within

the pagelow, and fades for overlays, like a toolip. But that's just a rule of thumb, and with

all the tools available there's a lot more opportunity to improve interacions, as well as

messing them up.

With that in mind, a full book on animaions starts to make a lot of sense. It makes even

more sense when also taking into account upcoming technologies which aren't bound to

jQuery directly, like CSS3 animaions or animated canvas drawings.

As a tech reviewer I've worked with Dan on his jQuery UI 1.6 and jQuery UI 1.7 books. At the

ime the jQuery UI team was sill iguring out the scope and exact direcion of the project,

including several direcion changes at the ime when Dan was wriing the irst book. Despite

these challenges Dan did a great job providing documentaion and extensive examples on

how to use and combine the widgets and interacions jQuery UI provides.

With this book Dan brings his experience in wriing on jQuery topics to teach you when

and how to use animaions to create beter user experiences. I hope it serves you well.
