jQuery UI 1.7 book by Dan Wellman - a precursor
11th
Dan Wellman has just launched his new book about the jQuery UI and his publishers have sent me a copy to review. I’ll have more on that later, but I’m certainly looking forward to reading it; here’s how he describes the book

To emphasize the way that jQuery UI takes the difficulty out of user interface design and implementation, each chapter ends with a `fun with’ section that puts together what you’ve learned throughout the chapter to make a usable and fun page. In these sections you’ll often get to experiment with the latest associated technologies like AJAX and JSON.
I really like the idea of the ‘fun with’ sections, quite often the biggest barrier to absorbing a text book is the tedium of the examples.
