Who thought teaching jQuery BEFORE JavaScript was a good idea?

I learned JQuery before I learned javascript.
so you may judge me. XD

Me too, because of jquery, i thought javascript is scary. I'm wrong, thanks jquery.

Fixed

When I learning and working with raw JavaScript, I cried a lot but jQuery came and helped me alot. I don't think jQuery is shit. Now I know JavaScript.

Yeah, same here, learned Jquery before Js, which I kind a regret, but I'm proud to say that my soon to be released personal website is being done only with vanilla js. +IE9 classList polyfill vanilla js, but vanilla js nonetheless.

@Jasey Infoind this to be true in my university program. The successful students knew better while the sheeple just took what was taught as gospel.

Poor chaps...

Because $("#alfa") is shorter than document.getElementById("alfa").

More than that its easy to select class and ids.

Jquery is a library not a framework it helps with dom manipulation. So you still need to know javascript.

If you had to deal with ajax requests in older IE versions, you know jQuery was a fucking god.

JQuery is freaking awesome.

I guess the same people who think teaching Java before C is a good idea...

or teaching Java in the first place...

At this point, I'm good enough with vanilla JS to do without jQuery; i still use it, especially the AJAX functions, but i rely on it much lesd

you guys still use Jquery ? :O

For mostly static websites, yes.

JQuery isn't bad. If my project doesn't require React or any of its features. I am not using that library. Use the best tool for the job. People always wanna use the newest thing. Like that's great but don't be a jack of all trades.

@curlyDev the glory of document.querySelector and All

@ChainsawBaby all the yes

I'm glad to say I ditched jQuery already. I learned Vanilla JS and I thank myself. I saw some guys mislead other newbs on YouTube. They had to use a 30kB of library only just to toggle a class. I am guessing that it may be the reason why some hamburger nav icons don't respond immediately when tapped. jQuery is the past, not the future.

I didn't 😅

JQuery is a good way to learn JavaScript. After that, it will create 2 types of developer; the one that will want to understand what's behind JQuery and become more educated, and the one that will always rely on frameworks and stack overflow to code.

@loserboi not every dev are architect. UI architect is not common, but with all frameworks, concepts (NBC, REST, etc), a proper architecture needs to be determined on large project.

I learnt jquery when I didn't even know the difference between JavaScript and jquery.
And I guess I did the right most thing. JavaScript syntax sucks

Haha you have no idea how many times I see that happening when someone's wants to get into web development.

I learned JS first, hard to say but I'd think that learning vanilla JS before a library built on top of it is a good idea

Luckily I never had to deal with jQuery, and it gives me the chills when I see it. If it's not too big, I ask myself okay, how do I replace this with vanilla or react, aaaand... It's gone.

every so called web company/agency where every problem can be addressed by throwing random wordpress or jquery plugins

How about teaching Node js with basic HTML and then JQuery

Teach jQuery so that student/trainee/developer can take interest. Then jump to JS so that they can understand it too.

JQuery is only a library that works with JavaScript, except if you learn JavaScript you can't utilize Jquery. Additionally, Jquery doesn't do everything for you, you are as yet going to compose a considerable measure of pure JavaScript code in the event that you are doing much else besides an unimportant site. http://buyassignment.com/help-with-...

Judging by the comments that may be good for you. I learned JavaScript without learning Jquery, and now I hate myself.

So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em
