jQuery is a powerful JavaScript library that can enhance your websites regardless of your background.
Created by John Resig, jQuery is an open-source project with a dedicated core team of top-notch JavaScript developers. It provides a wide range of features, an easy-to-learn syntax, and robust cross-platform compatibility in a single compact file. What's more, over a hundred plug-ins have been developed to extend jQuery's functionality, making it an essential tool for nearly every client-side scripting occasion.
Learning jQuery provides a gentle introduction to jQuery concepts, allowing you to add interactions and animations to your pages—even if previous attempts at writing JavaScript have left you baffled.
