What's JQuery is ?

jQuery is a free and convenient JavaScript library, with a short and logical syntax, compatible with all common browsers.
jQuery has become an important reference to know how to use: for proof, it is widely used on the web. Microsoft, Twitter, Mozilla, Google Code, Amazon and Wordpress France, to name a few, use it.
You may not know it yet, but jQuery is even used by the Zero Site on the page you are visiting right now.

To follow this tutorial on "jQuery JavaScript Library", I highly recommend you to:

• Know the basics of HTML (tags) as well as CSS (selectors);
• but especially to know the JavaScript;
• by controlling the events, the DOM, etc. ;

as well as its subtleties such as closures or objects.
Throughout the tutorial, I will make the use of jQuery examples available on a personal site. Just click on the title of the example ("Try this code!") To access the page.
Each of these pages will link to JSBin and another to jsFiddle. These are two sandbox sites where you can test and edit your own JavaScript code.

It is important that you do not hesitate to modify the code to practice.

This library is very well done and it is a very powerful tool, but you will still need to get involved and think in order to create powerful and well constructed scripts.

The jQuery library is very complete and consists of scripts covering more or less all the features of JavaScript, from the manipulation of the HTML DOM to the management of events through the creation of animations.

Its simplicity of use with a coherent and intuitive syntax, its lightness and its completeness make it an almost essential tool to realize JavaScript scripts on your site.

Prerequisites required to take this course

Unlike full courses on HTML and CSS or JavaScript, this course is a "level 2" course since jQuery is based on JavaScript.

I will therefore consider for this course that you have a good mastery of JavaScript and therefore will not explain (or very briefly) some basic concepts and features of JavaScript as the modification of the HTML DOM or event management.

To take full advantage of this course, I strongly recommend that you first acquire a good knowledge and mastery of HTML, CSS  and JavaScript.

Course methodology

The methodology for this course will be very similar to that used for others on this site.

First of all, this course is a complete course that will explore all the possibilities offered by jQuery.

We will obviously proceed gradually, first discovering the syntax and basic features of jQuery and gradually moving to more complexity.

Each new concept will be illustrated with a practical example and I will very often provide links for you to try and modify the live codes.

Finally, each new chapter will be accompanied by a video to illustrate the proposed course in practice.
