jQuery | Is it Proper to Learn jQuery while you are just absolute beginner to JS (Javascript)???

Question

When I look at some jQuery codes they look ugly (the code). It just looks like scratches and a bunch of dollar signs.
I started JS, but I haven't moved sleeveless yet (still at level one).
So I just clicked on jQuery and started looking learning from beginning.

So I was wondering if that was proper or I should learn JS first.
OPINIONS??!
Facts???

Answer 1

Learn good in JavaScript first... jQuery is optional, many JavaScript developers do not learn jQuery, they choose to learn react or other frameworks.
However you need a good foundation in JavaScript in order to learn well in other frameworks including jQuery.

I write thousands of JavaScript codes on code playground, and i do not know jQuery.

Answer 2

Its better to learn a bit more of javascript. But you can start with jquerry pretty early. So keep going.

Answer 3

Thanks for this advice. Also faced the same problem so I just decided to go on and learn JS from scratch

Answer 4

jquery is a library not a framework. either way..its best to know js first..as jquery is not manditory..and not always used. knowing js first will help you learn anything after that like jquery or react etc
