Apress Pro SharePoint with jQuery
Who This Book Is For
This book is primarily written for SharePoint developers who are looking to expand their knowledge into
working with jQuery. SharePoint and jQuery is for intermediate programmers interested in building rich
interactive web parts, application pages, and more using the combined power of jQuery and SharePoint.
jQuery is one of those technologies that has been around for a few years, and the kind of functionality it
offers is really quite amazing. Many of the “slick” web sites these days have a splash of jQuery in their
mix; if you want to bring this kind of dazzle to SharePoint, then this book is for you.
How This Book Is Structured
Pro SharePoint and jQuery will introduce to you some of the basics of jQuery, starting with what jQuery
is and looking at some of the advantages it offers over writing pure JavaScript. Then you will see some of
the different ways that jQuery can be deployed to your SharePoint environment. Activating jQuery to
make the library available on the page to your jQuery-consuming solutions is another task that can be
done in a multitude of ways; with this book, you will be able to compare them and figure out which one
suits your requirements. If you’re like me, wading into some examples and seei ng how they work is a
great way to learn. That’s why there are lots of tasks to work through: from simply viewing information in
SharePoint with jQuery to building a complete Task Viewer application that demonstrates some key
principles of working with SharePoint and jQuery. Once you have learned the fundamentals, you will
learn how to work with plug-ins such as the jQuery UI library, and then you’ll go on to create your own.

Coding Conventions
When writing production-standard code, you should always make sure that you handle exceptions
correctly and log errors when required. This book omits these steps for brevity.
The examples in this book are complete and will allow you to get a functional result that you can use
for further experimentation.
Prerequisites
You should be familiar with concepts such as ShareP oint solutions, features, th e SharePoint root, lists,
and libraries. You should also have some knowledge of working with JavaScript. C# developers will see
that jQuery is not too different from C#, but it is worth knowing where the differences are. Readers will
also need to have some experience working with Visual Studio, because it is used for most of the
development work.
Downloading the Code
