How Do I Enter?
Earlier this week, at ThemeForest, we launched a new category that will appeal specifically to JavaScripters. This category will offer advanced and helpful components that can easily be imported into a user’s project — things like advanced news tickers, AJAX forms, event calendars, etc. We want to know what you think.
Step 1: Review the Category
Take a brief moment to look over our initial offerings; perhaps review a couple of the live previews.
Step 2: Leave a Comment on this Page
Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts.
- Have a great idea for a submission? Let us now.
- Been needing a component for your project that’s not available for free online? let us know!
- Critical remarks? Always welcome; just be polite.
- Ways to improve the service? That works too!
“jQuery is a JavaScript library that helps web developers create JavaScript applications that work well in any browser. This book demonstrates how to use jQuery to reduce the amount of code you need to write and reduce the amount of testing that is required. You ll see how separation of presentation (CSS), markup (XHTML), and script (JavaScript and Ajax) in web pages is a crucial direction in web development for creating maintainable, accessible, cost-effective web sites. The featured full-color code syntax highlighting provides you with a visual reinforcement so you can see the various pieces and parts that make up each line and section of code for each language.”
“Professional JavaScript for Web Developers, 2nd Edition, provides a developer-level introduction along with the more advanced and useful features of JavaScript.
Starting at the beginning, the book explores how JavaScript originated and evolved into what it is today. A detailed discussion of the components that make up a JavaScript implementation follows, with specific focus on standards such as ECMAScript and the Document Object Model (DOM). The differences in JavaScript implementations used in different popular web browsers are also discussed.”
Thank you so much to Wrox Publishing for helping us out. I’ve read both books listed above; they’re fantastic!

I recently came across your site and subscribed to the feeds immediately, I’m currently reading JavaScript: The Good Parts and would like to have some other good reference books as well.
Hello !
Great Tuts, love jquery & WordPress & beautiful interface.
Hi, i really want to imporve my knowledge about jQuery, these books will help me with this a lot.
I want it!
Really very good tutorials about PHP. Maybe too much jQuery. I would like to see more Mootools tuts.
love to have either of these books!!! pls
Keep the jQuery tuts coming! More wordpress and drupal tutorials would be great. Maybe more advanced tuts, out of the box ideas.
Thanks for all the great tuts!
The new ThemeForest Section is a great idea. I don’t know much about javascript, so I’m always looking for snippets of code to use on my website. Thanks for an awesome set of resources.
I’d love these books! :)
More on Joomla would be awesome!
I second the jQuery suggestion, would appreciate more tuts in this area.
nice. i want this
Great books !!!
I would like to enter for one of these
Count me in! Could always use another great tech book.
I have been looking for some great jquery/js/css books for the longest time and it seems like these books come highly recommended. :)
Live previews will be nice when they are implemented.
Love the site. I would love to win!
Always looking for more books to learn from…
I wanna win :D
This is great! This would be the “kick-in-the-rear” motivator I need to get more involved with JavaScript.
i hope i win that book! thanks for donating…
JQuery for a newbie on AJAX and porting from dot NET proprietary platform to PHP , this book is what I would very much like to have…..count me in.
It’s a great idea to showcase technologies together. CSS and jQuery, for instance. There are lots of books that hone in on one piece of the puzzle, but very few that show the whole picture.
Thanks!
Yummy!!
Nice topic to discuss….
Awesome books from Wrox, recently purchased a few .net books from them! I myself would love to see some basic back to basic’s Ajax and Javascript stuff.
This is a great place to learn about tools and trends that are new to me and the majority of the world. I really appreciate the way you make it approachable from the novices standpoint yet technical enough to make it relevant for experienced users.
thanks, good stuff here.
I’ve alway liked Wrox books. I thinks they are a great way to learn lot of technologies.
Regards,
Jose
I’m interested in different manuals about creating different tools on javascript: simple and hard, like form checker etc. Also information how to fix scripts if there any problems.
Wow, free stuff always seems to drawa a lot of comments. I am a realtively newbie to web development but love nettuts intuitiveness. I’m hoping to get a hand on one of these books to futher develop my skills and knowledge in javascript.
Wrox books are always hotcake!
Nice prizes! I have just started working with JQuery and Javascript, these books would be great way to learn a lot more!
Wrox is my favorite publisher.
Some theoric content about good uses of libraries, ajax and other stuff would be great… I mean “when to use this, when to use that…” or something like this…
Anyway, the site is awesome… really atract the target…
Congratulations… Keep going on!
These books would be really useful to me in my job.
I love your site. It’s helped my lots.
Thanks
These books will be valuable resource to me in my continuing learning process as a pro web designer. your site is a valuable resource tome and keep up the good work.
Great prizes!
This may have been done before, but I would really love to see a good, solid article on JavaScript debugging.
Yah, Wrox
I really liked the live example of the Smooth Menu. As for JQuery, I haven’t used it yet, so winning a book would be cool.
Keep up the good work.
I’d love a copy
I want to win.
I’ve Been wanting to learn j query, this would be so helpful!
Thanks for the quality tuts.

I recently went through the jQuery tuts and I thought they were awesome. I didn’t realize how awesome jQuery really is! So I’ve been trying to learn javascript and jQuery so I can incorporate it into future web design. An literature would be a great plus!
