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 is made from javascript. :)

It would be a very good idea to read the source-code of jQuery to enhance your overall understanding of javascript...

Definitely learn both at the same time :)
Good luck and have fun.
