Is it important to know J.QUERY If you lack an understanding on Java Script ?

Question

I am finishing J.QUERY yet still way behind on Java Script

Answer 1

you can copy and paste code, but still need skills to Edit it.
You can learn jQuery. But its still a library to JS.
To use jQuery or any other JS library or framework to its full power its good to understand javascript first.
A problem might arise you will need to go back to javascript.
jQuery mostly used to manipulates the DOM. JS goes deeper.
already made frameworks and library makes development fast. but to properly use them without creating something similar to 1million people you need to understand the language first.
thats what seperates you as a developer than a non developer.

Answer 2

it's up too you. For me I hate jQuery a lot. I prefer pure JavaScript anyways, It is possible to be good in jQuery But aweful in javascript but it would help you a lot if you learn JavaScript before jQuery because it was JavaScript that was used to create the powerful jQuery you know today

Answer 3

Well, jquery is very helpful in a way cos it's shorter n easier buh javascript is core. Its always good to have an understanding of the core.

Answer 4

The proper way is to learn JS first and then move to JS frameworks and libraries. It will save you a lot of time and headbanging in the long run.

Answer 5

A lot of people use jQuery because it seems easier. Tbh I don't think it really is and I personally always use raw JS out of preference.

Answer 6

Meny Evolving Thanks bro

Answer 7

Forget about jQuery, go to learn vanilla JavaScript.

Answer 8

Your question is analogous to this:
Can I learn a language without learning the alphabet of said language?

Also vanilla js > all other js frameworks, libraries etc.

( vanilla js -> normal js )

Answer 9

wet water ))) I understand that opinion but much of what jQuery does involves about the same amount of code in raw JavaScript or sometimes less and doesn't involve pulling in an extra library. Regarding Bootstrap, it is a useful tool but it also tends to produce generic looking sites. A cookie cutter approach only really works when you're making something that is basically a cookie...

In addition, if you always use libraries you're never really going to fully understand the code makes it tick...

BlackRose Mike props on that answer

Answer 11

Yes I know now , 😩

Answer 12

Meny Evolving you're right there Meny, often times it can be, but be careful if you think jQuery is saving time because in the long run it may not

Answer 13

That's a good answer thank you !

Answer 14

Lol no ooh more answers

Answer 15

Hello

Answer 16

I'd tell you to learn A minimum of JS(the bases) on SoloLearn before jumping on JQuery. Do the same for every framework/library you want to master. But if you really don't want to master it you can continue with copy and paste.

Answer 17

jQuery eventually leads you to learn JavaScript. I personally use mixed code of jQuery and JavaScript. But still basic knowledge of JavaScript helps to to grab any JS library.
