Mastering jQuery: Unleashing the Power of Dynamic Web Development

JQuery Framework

JQuery is a framework built using JavaScript capabilities. It is basically a fast and concise JavaScript library that allows one to write less code but do more. It simplifying tasks like HTML document traversing, event handling, animation and Ajax interactions allowing rapid web development. It has many benefits to web developers.

Selection of DOM Elements

Animation Effects

Thirdly, websites benefit from the plenty in-built animation effects found. Abundance of plug-ins on the web makes creating special effects simple and fast.

Lightweight Library

Fourthly, JQuery is a very lightweight library considering it is only about 19 KB’s in size. It is minified and zipped saving on file size and time since loading web pages becomes much faster.

Easy to Use and Access

Lastly, Query is easy to use, free and easy to access and can be supported by any mobile device whose browser supports JavaScript.

JQuery Files

JQuery files often have the character “min” to mean the files have been minified. All unnecessary characters and whitespaces are removed in order to make the file size smaller. When a version of jQuery is used without the “min” character it means the jQuery code will be much harder to read due to the line breaks, spaces and long variable names. And the file sizes will be bigger.

JavaScript for Web Development

JavaScript is a necessary skill for web developers because it is a client-side programming language allowing them to make web pages dynamic and interactive allowing them respond to users instantly through the rich user interface. Developers also need JavaScript to optimize web pages for mobile devices with the google initiated accelerated mobile pages to create websites delivering a rich user experience.
