I have written a book with Garrick Cheung about the MooTools JavaScript framework called "MooTools 1.2 Beginner’s Guide" published by Packt Publishing.

It’s a book for beginning web developers looking to make interactive websites and web applications rapidly with the help of MooTools.

The book is formatted in a way that teaches you by way of practical examples that you can apply to real-world situations.

If you’ve read my tutorials here on Six Revisions, you can expect the same level of detail and clarity in each page of the "MooTools 1.2 Beginner’s Guide".

Writing the book was one of the best experiences I’ve had, and I hope that by picking up a copy, you’ll see the amount of passion and work I’ve put into it to help web development newcomers become familiarized with this amazing JavaScript framework.

The book has 9 chapters (you can see the complete table of contents here):

• Chapter 1: MooTools and Me
• Chapter 2: Writing JavaScript with MooTools
• Chapter 3: Selecting DOM Elements
• Chapter 4: The Core’s Useful Utility Functions
• Chapter 5: Working with Events
• Chapter 6: Bringing Web Pages to Life with Animation
• Chapter 7: Going 2.0 with Ajax
• Chapter 8: Beefing Up MooTools: Using the MooTools More Plugins
• Chapter 9: Creating Your Own Plugin

The book is available as a paperback or eBook at Packt Publishing, or as a paperback on Amazon.com.

You can learn a lot more about the book by visiting the book’s product page on Packt Publishing.
