What Really is jQuery?

jQuery is a lightweight, “write less, do more,” JavaScript library, which contains a multi-browser JavaScript archive, designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML. Its syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications.  All-in-all, jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today. 

The modular approach to the jQuery library allows the creation of powerful dynamic web pages and web applications, which contains an endless amount of possibilities with its scripting language. JQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript. Since working here, learning JQuery has been a passion of mine and I invite you to look at a few related websites I bookmarked to acquire about all the endless possibilities it can create for you and your web site.
