jQuery UI has a series of ready-made, great-looking user interfacewidgets and a comprehensive set of core interaction helpers designed tobe implemented in a consistent and developer-friendly way.

In this book, you’ll learn how each component can be initialized ina basic default implementation and then see how easy it is to customizeits appearance and configure its behaviour to tailor it to therequirements of your application. You’ll look at the properties andmethods exposed by each component’s API and see how these can be usedto bring out the best in each component.
Events play a key role in any modern web applications if it is tomeet the expected minimum requirements of interactivity andresponsiveness, and each chapter will show you the custom events firedby each component and how these events can be intercepted and actedupon.
Approach
An example-based approach leads you step-by-step through theimplementation and customization of each library component and itsassociated resources in turn. To emphasize the way that jQuery UI takesthe difficulty out of user interface design and implementation, eachchapter ends with a `fun with’ section that puts together what you’velearned throughout the chapter to make a usable and fun page.
