jQuery Tutorial
- jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library.
- It simplifies various tasks such as HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and AJAX interactions for rapid web development.
- jQuery's syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop AJAX applications.
- It abstracts many of the complexities of JavaScript, allowing developers to write concise and efficient code.
