It took me forever to go through this chapter. It was incredibly slow, and nothing too interesting. If you're reading a book on jQuery. jQuery has its bases in JavaScript, so a key foundation for it is JavaScript. Plus a lot of it was so long, with many examples that I went through on principal that it just got me really uninspired. I am glad to have finished it.
So it uses a lot of console logging, and created objects for its own demonstrations. It went into how you'd add a method onto a function, which is very different from how you would in c#. It was actually very good at explaining how to determine if an object has a property, explaining the differences between null and undefined. I spent a good portion of my time on this since it is a little different from c#.
The book did touch on array methods, but didn't go into depth. I'm glad about this because as I said earlier, it was longer than it needed to be.
So they had to put this chapter in for sure, but I feel that it was still a little long. It isn't really going to be of any assistance if you have a problem. You're going to need to go to another JavaScript reference and look at it there.
I am excited though because I see the next part is called "Working with jQuery".
