I learned jQuery before JavaScript, and I'd do it again
- zenoware 8mo agoRemember when selecting all elements with a class required 15 lines of browser-sniffing JavaScript? jQuery turned that into $('.intro').hide(). One line. Worked everywhere. And there was a codepen you can bookmark too. Wrote a piece on jQuery's 20th birthday, a part history lesson, part love letter to the library that made web dev feel magical.
