What is JQuery?
JQuery:Jquery is a library of functions specifically created for assisting for Javascript use. As they are both open source tools, one does not need to worry about plagiarism. It is the most widely used Javascript library by a large margin, as JQuery is used by 96.7% of all the websites whose JavaScript library we know and that rank in the top 1,000,000. Jquery is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, create animations, handle event and develop ajax application, allows developers to create plug-ins on top of the javascript library. Enables developers to create abstractions for low-level animation, advanced effects and high level themeable widgets. Allows for dynamic web pages and web applications.
I personally have used Jquery when making my menu button for this site. Jquery was released in 2006, and has a license from MIT. The biggest advantage to jquery is that it is less demanding on the end users data than traditional JS. I believe this to be because it is a pattern of tools, and since it is a pattern it takes less resources for the computer to call upon that pattern when requested. A good tool that I used to help learn was: jQuery Tutorial #1 – jQuery Tutorial for Beginners.This is a 3 part series that helps you learn the basics of jquery but they also have many other videos that you should check out if your having issues writing code.
