Can i learn jQuery first instead JavaScript??

Question

is there any prob for me?? if i learn jQuery first??

Answer 1

For sure you need learn at least basics of JS, as JQuery is not a standalone language but a JS library ^^

Answer 2

jQuery just make easy to access the DOM, the rest is handled with native JS.

Answer 3

jQuery is a Javascript library. You can do everything jQuery permits with the vanilla JS. I would suggest you learn JS first because is not only the core of jQuery but also not everybody uses jQuery (such as in a professional environment).

One more thing, the jQuery file contains all of its potential (the whole code in it). Take a look at http://youmightnotneedjquery.com
it shows the same effects accomplished by using vanilla JS and jQuery, in comparison.

Hope i've been helpful in the debate :)

Answer 4

thanks for the suggestion buddy

Answer 5

Yes, you can learn jQuery but I think you should learn vanilla JavaScript first just so you can understand why jQuery exists.
