It a matter of collective synergy of brains and thinking by the vastly experience engineers that results to the wonder u see. Books are hard particalarly technical and programming books thats why u cant get the knowledge from book. #imho

so how to be as good as they are?

Learn the fundamentals, then work on hard problems. Hang out with as many really smart people - also working on hard problems - as you can. Read obsessively. Experiment and don't be afraid to fail from time to time.

Get ur hands dirty with code, solve problems and neva be a lazy jerk. BTW books and skuls like lynda.com can help

IMO => jQuery is just another javascript framework. It is best u understand and know basics of JS before mastering jQuery

Blog to follow eg jqueryrain.com 1stwebdesigner.con hongkiat.com css3.info webdesigndepot.com etc

Learn core javascript without framework. Follow trends in html5 and css3. Dnt 4get to use other js framework like mootools yui dojo etc. Be creative and look at trending website to get inspiration
