  • jQuery eBook

    jQuery e-Commerce Shopping Cart

    ebook

    This book illustrates the various technologies needed to create a complete shopping cart application using front-end web programming based on JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Each Chapter builds on the various concepts with all the source code available from my web site.

    We can take the principles of AJAX that are available in jQuery to easily fetch data from the server without having to load the whole web page, which creates a far better experience for site visitors. We can use jQuery with an understanding of HTML and CSS to modify and interact with a shopping system.

    So this book is about creating attractive web layouts and interactive web pages as simply as possible.

    It would be helpful if you have a basic understanding of coding. This can be knowledge of any language so it should be quite straightforward to pick up the principles of JavaScript if you have not done any JavaScript before.

    We don't go into the basics of programming such as describing what a “for loop” is or what an “if else statement” is although we do describe principles where necessary.

    All examples are provided as downloads so you should be able to follow the code without too many issues.

    You should also have a reasonable understanding of HTML and CSS but you can get by with only a rudimentary knowledge of these. For example, you need to know the difference between >p< and >br/< and you need to know how to create a CSS file with some styles.
