Learning jQuery and Getting Better at Javascript [closed]

Answer 1

I think you would be better at learning javascript first and from there you can learn its libraries like jQuery. Book I would recommend would be JQuery in Action, its the best IMO and recently I found a link that makes the first chapter free online just to give you a little taste. Trust me worth the buy

Answer 2

One of the best places to start is the jQuery Tutorials:

Tutorials - jQuery

Answer 3

Yes, I agree Mark, first start with Javascript itself by w3schools. If you need to learn HTML and CSS w3schools is the best place to learn. then try to solve your problems with JQuery. It will be more effective I think.

Answer 6

A great start point is the its online documentation.

JQuery gives you a great chance to "Write Less, Do More". But javascript is not quite comfortable to write and to debug. I do not think it makes much sense to dive into javascript. I suggest you as take a look at GWT. You can write code in java, which will be generated to valid javascript automatically.
