What is JQUERY?

What is JQUERY?
JQUERY is an open source JavaScript library. JQUERY contains all the highly interactive and responsive tools that are needed in modern web pages. Its main feature is WRITE LESS AND DO MORE.

JQUERY supports the entire modern world browser. Another main advantage of JQUERY on my point of view is that when we code we always consider about how it will look in different individual browser but when you work with JQUERY you don’t need to think about that and so you can solely concentrate on your design. 

Some area of expertise of JQUERY is that in JQUERY the page content manipulation is very easy and simple which is normally we do this by DOM (Document Object Model). JQUERY makes it very simple to work with modern browser event model. The other important thing is its library. JQUERY has a great library with various effects, animations, transitions that can be used easily.

JQUERY syntax is a lot more like the CSS, so if you know CSS you find it familiar when you work with JQUERY. It is very helpful as everybody know CSS well. Statement chaining is also another feature of JQUERY. With it you can perform more than one operation on a set of elements with one line of code. Now lets see how can you download and install it for your web page.

Installing JQUERY
JQUERY is available in version. One is the production version and another one is the developer version.  The production version is minified and compressed. So you have to download them before use. Which one you use depends on your job nature. If you are intending to develop then you use the development version because it is much easier to debug. And you want use them in your server then use the production version. There is no difference in code between the production and the development version.  To download the latest version of the JQUERY visit JQUERY website http:\\jquery.com and download any of JQUERY's latest version. It will download directly in js format. Its better put this file in the root directory, otherwise you need to specify the path in your web page.
