This Wrox Blox teaches you how to use jQuery with your
ASP.NET-based websites. jQuery greatly simplifies JavaScript
development and allows you to create highly interactive and
responsive websites using the latest JavaScript and AJAX
techniques. The author walks you through the jQuery API using a
simple ASP.NET MVC application to highlight major topics, and shows
how you can apply jQuery to your own applications. After learning
the basics of using jQuery, you’ll discover how easy it is to
use within your own ASP.NET projects. Whether you are using
WebForms or the MVC framework, jQuery will greatly simplify your
code. As you will quickly find out, jQuery really is the
“write less, do more” framework.
