Is it better to start learning jQuery instead of JavaScript?

Answer 1

I think you should learn JavaScript first then jQuery because for understanding the basic of jQuery, JavaScript basics and fundamentals are required.

Answer 2

jQuery is a JavaScript library. It is impossible to use jQuery without JavaScript. I advise to learn JavaScript at least up until object methods and DOM, because otherwise it will be difficult to understand how to use jQuery at all.

Answer 3

JavaScript is necessary because jQuery is JavaScript. I also wouldn't recommend getting in the habit of using jQuery for simple things and use it only when necessary. I've seen people import the entire jQuery library just to show and hide an element on button click.
