jQuery For Beginners: Your Guide To Easily Learn jQuery Programming in 7 days

Are You Ready To Learn jQuery Easily?

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to create programs using jQuery. It tells you about the fundamentals of the programming language as well as the things you have to do in order to come up with working programs.
It explains to you what jQuery is all about, why choosing it over other programming languages is worth it, and what you have to do to get better at writing programs. This book also contains sample codes to help you gain a better understanding of the concepts of jQuery.

Then again, before you begin with jQuery, it is crucial for you to learn about JavaScript first. If you are already familiar with the programming language, you may feel like ignoring it and moving on towards jQuery quickly. But you also have to keep in mind that this can be a risky move because you have to be adept at using JavaScript before you can successfully write codes using jQuery.
In fact, a lot of Web developers make the mistake of skipping JavaScript and moving on to jQuery immediately. While they may have experienced a smooth flowing run at first, they eventually find themselves stuck in the middle. At this point, they no longer know what to do because they did not spend time learning about JavaScript first.

If you do not want to get stuck while in the middle of programming using jQuery, see to it that you pay attention to JavaScript and learn all about it first. In the most basic sense, writing codes using jQuery is practically writing codes using JavaScript, except that you use the library of jQuery.
If you already have a Web page but you want to include some JavaScript codes in it so that it would run better, you can either add codes inline within your script tag or you can make an external file in JavaScript using the .js extension in your file name before loading it through your script tag.

With regard to the syntax of JavaScript, it is pretty clear and basic. Then again, there are still some subtleties that you must expect. As you go on writing codes and programs using this programming language, you will encounter these subtleties.
Oftentimes, there are a variety of ways on how you can do and achieve things. However, the community still insists on certain conventions. The use of semicolons is an example of this. In JavaScript, the use of semicolon at the last part of your line is usually optional. Nevertheless, you have to add a semicolon at the last part of your line at all times if you wish to follow the convention. This is especially the case if you’re working with a team or if other people will be taking a close look at your code.

jQuery is such an amazing programming language. It can certainly help improve your website as well as enable you to create programs for a variety of purposes.
