I feel that jQuery is a great library for doing what it does. It simplifies Javascript. This can be great for something that you need to do that is simple, but I sometimes feel that jQuery can be limiting. Javascript is too intimidating for me to dive into.
<!– And yes, I know jQuery is a Javascript library, but I am just comparing using it to not using it. –>
So let’s compare Javascript and jQuery
-Javascript does not need to load an external binary
-Javascript does more than just “effects”
-Javascript has tons of tutorials to get you started
-jQuery can be learned in just hours
-jQuery is “bloated” for users on a slow connection (Especially if you’re using the development release)
It is hard for me to decide wether Javascript is the answer or jQuery .jQuery has been used by many designers, but I find Javascript a little bit easier as it is also more advanced.
What are your thoughts?
I think JS will be good for small & little site, and jQuery for the simple
Sorry but.
what the hell are you talking about. jQuery is a javascript library not a javascript replacement.
You use jQuery alongside javascript if you need too not instead of javascript.
jQuery makes a lot of things easier and the rest you can do in javascript.
