Learning Javascript vs. jQuery

Question

I got the Wrox.Beginning.JavaScript.3rd.Edition and wanted to start learning it from scratch, then my boss came along and said that why bother, learn jQuery. Can I understand jQ

Answer 1

jQuery removes the need for many bad Javascript habits. However, you will frequently need to know more than just jQuery to get non-trivial work done.

You'll need to learn both, but try to pick up habits based on jQuery.
