Biography/History:

Zhang Yuguang: Yuguang Zhang has worked as a web developer in a number of small companies. Notable companies where he has worked at include SociaLabra, a social media company, and SmartPager, a startup in mobile paging. He has expertise in developing interactive client-side applications with Knockout. As a personal project, he built the first IDE that runs Python in the browser using Knockout and jQuery UI, that is pythonfiddle. com.

Summary:

Written with an example-based approach, Building UIs with Wijmo leads you step by step through the implementation and customization of each library component and its associated resources. Reference tables of each configuration option, method, and event for each component are provided, alongside detailed explanations of how each widget is used.Building UIs with Wijmo is targeted at readers who are familiar with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, and have a basic understanding of web development. Although knowledge of jQuery UI is not mandatory, it would be a bonus as it is quite similar to Wijmo. Only the last chapter of the book on extending Wijmo requires advanced CSS and JavaScript knowledge.
