If you ever thought about web developing the first thing you should know about is JQuery. It's an awesome javascript library that cuts down all the nitty gritty of programming into simple lines of code. It's essentially a shortcut for web developers! Instead of typing hundreds of lines of codes just to traverse through a document, JQuery methods will find exactly what you want and do whatever you tell it to do. But wait there's so many other libraries out there so why this one specifically? Jquery is very important to learn not only for the useful functionalities but also because of its wide reach. Over 70% of the 10 million most popular websites are created with JQuery. The library is practically a must have when building a website.
So now that you know a little more about JQuery and are itching to get started, let's talk about how to download it. There are two ways to get JQuery: downloading from JQuery.com and importing JQuery to your library, or make someone else host JQuery via CDN(Content Delivery Network). if you choose the latter, you can find a host from sources like Google and Microsoft. After you install JQuery, you're ready to build your website! However, keep in mind that although JQuery makes building websites a thousand times easier, some skills are required in HTML, CSS, and ,of course, Javascript.
For more information on using JQuery, JQuery.com contains all the documentation of each functionalities.
