jQuery: Lesson 1
June 9, 2009 | Filed Under jquery | Leave a Comment
(Remember, I did say I’d drag you into my study course with jquery 
)
I think the first thing the ‘book’ (which from here we’ll be referring as simply the ‘book’) explained were the things that the jquery library can do. I mean, in order for you to be able to use something effectively, you must be able to identify what it can do (or what it is).
First, what is jQuery?
jQuery is a javascript library that gives us a “general-purpose abstraction layer”. I would just have copied the phrase ‘abstraction layer’, but decided that ‘general-purpose’ is a big thing in jquery. I mean, it can DO a lot of things.. (You know, how a general-purpose flour help in making pancakes, cakes, and even my super delicious fish fillets ) It can do a variety of things. I personally like jquery because everytime I say document.getElementById(’id’), i can just say $(’#id’) ..
Learning jquery

Lately, I have been wondering about my career path. I know I need to look at getting my own masters degree soon. But since I just finished college (3 years ago.. ehhehe..), I still feel I need a really, really long vacation away from a formal school. But I love learning new stuff, and one of the stuff I know that will be very valuable (and extremely interesting) is jquery.
Jquery is a javascript library. I have not learned javascript from school, but from google. hehehe.. 
So now.. I wanna learn and master jquery. I do use jquery now and then, but the codes are from google. So, I thought maybe I could really learn jquery and drag you all with me. isn’t it exciting!?! ahihihihi..
So, now I’m off to finding a good jquery book.. Wish me luck!
