jQuery Reading Assignment

  1. What is jQuery?

A collection of code that vastly reduces the amount of code you have to use. They are pre-written. There are many different functions of code you can borrow.

  1. How does it help us as developers?

It can save enormous amounts of time when borrowing code that is error free. Instead of trying to type it by trial and error and learning how to do it yourself.

  1. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?

Less space = less storage space and less computational power needed

  1. jQuery is one of the most popular Javascript libraries and makes it quicker and easier to build Javascript webpages and apps.
  2. jQuery allows programmers to reuse Javascript code that is already written, which makes programming faster, easier, and less error prone.
  3. The uncompressed version of jQuery is easy to read and modify. The minified version is smaller and faster to download, so itā€™s better for visitors to download.
  1. What is jQuery?
    jQuery is a JS library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    jQuery makes coding faster, we can write a single line of code to achieve what would have taken 10-20 lines of regular JavaScript code, saving a lot of time.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    The uncompressed version is the normal version, easy to ready and modify. The minified version is a lighter version, where comments, whitespaces and other unnecessary characters were removed, considerably reducing the size of it for better use while visiting the website.

2. How does it help us as developers?
   To save time and donā€™t invent the weal again, same functions are used by other developers
3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
   Uncompressed is more easier to understand under the development phase. And the minified version are without withspaces and are smaller in size, and loads much quicker for a user in real time.
  1. What is jQuery? jQuery is a JavaScript Library which allows apps to be developed quicker and easier using significantly less lines of code.
  2. How does it help us as developers? jQuery allows for great functionality like animations, Ajax requests, DOM manipulation, image effects, and user interface elements. Additionally it easier to code for browser cross-compatibility with jQuery.
  3. Why do we have 2 versions of jQuery - minified and uncompressed? The minified version is more compact in size at 23kb making it a more practical choice for real world application. The uncompressed version is more easy to read and modify however at the cost of being a much larger file at 160kb.

1.What is jQuery?
jQuery id free javaScript library.

2.How does it help us as developers?
Accomplishing things with 1,2 lines of code, which will take us 15-20 lines of code.

3.Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
Minifield version is the compressed version which is loading fast on our website, uncompressed version is the readable one and is way bigger (in kb`s) than the minifield.

  1. Itā€™s the most popular Javascript library.
  2. It lets Javascript apps operate across different browsers. Developers can save time writing apps for animation and other functions by using it.
  3. Uncompressed is the larger version and easy to modify. Minified takes out some unnecessary characters to cut the file size down by a lot. Itā€™s the recommended one to use when developing on a website.

1: a libary of Js code, ready to useā€¦
2: donā€™t need to reinvent, its fast and reliable
3: uncompressed: with explanations, nice structured for the human mind. the compressed one to use in the website itself.

  1. jQuery is a JavaScript library.
  2. jQuery helps lessen the code written by developers by reusing working JavaScript code.
  3. jQuery- minefield and uncompressed are functionally the same, however minefield is a compressed version that gets rid of unnecessary code such as white space and comments. The advantage is that clients can easily download it through the browser since its file size is smaller. The disadvantage is that it not easily readable.
  1. What is jQuery?

It is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript programs.

  1. How does it help us as developers?

We can write a single line of code to achieve what would have taken 10-20 lines of regular JavaScript code.

  1. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?

The uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify, but itā€™s heavier in size than the other version of JQuery.

The minified .js file has all the unnecessary characters removed from the file, that is why this version is lighter than the former one. Although you canā€™t easily read the code, itā€™s much quicker for visitors to download.

  1. What is jQuery?
    A free JavaScript library.
  2. How does it help us as developers?
    It allows us to write fewer lines of code and achieve the same functionality as 10-20 lines of regular code.
  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    uncompressed is easy to read and modify but is much larger than the minified .js which has all of the necessary characters removed from the file. minified is not as easy to read but quicker to download.
  1. jQuery is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps.
  2. It helps developers to save time by just adding code from jQuery.
    3 One version is have muct more code and it takes longer time to downloaded and second one is taking much less spaces, but it hard to modify.
    1. JS Lib that helps us write complex functions more concisely
  1. readable vs non-readable. 1st is easier to modify if needed

    JQuery is a JS library for web developement
  2. How does it help us as developers?
    It helps us in creating complex JS apps
  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    There are two versions, compressed and uncompressed. The compressed one is used in real world applications, as itā€™s smaller and easier to download for end users.
  1. What is jQuery?
    A library containing a variety of functions that are used often.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    Allows us to call on the functions in the library instead of re-writing the code for those functions ourselves.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    When making use of a library, the user interacting with our program needs to download all of the library contents in order to use the called upon functions. The larger the library, the more that needs downloading. This can result in lags of speed. Minified is the quick load version. Uncompressed allows us to read comments on functionality.

A free JS library

U donā€™t have to code as much

The uncompressed is easy to read and modify, but its larger than the minified version, meaning that if you want to run jQuery on your website, it makes more sense to use the minified version because it is smaller and faster

1. What is jQuery?

jQuery is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps. Often with jQuery you can write a single line of code to achieve what would have taken 10-20 lines of regular JavaScript code.

jQuery is itself written in JavaScript, and comes in the form of a single .js file that you link to from your webpage. Your JavaScript code then accesses the library by calling various jQuery functions.

2. How does it help us as developers?

jQuery makes it easy to write powerful JavaScript apps and create eye-catching animated effects rivalling those of Flash movies. Amongst other things, jQuery is great for:

  • Adding animated effects to elements. jQuery lets you easily add effects such as fading in/out, sliding in/out, and expanding/contracting.

  • Making XML (Ajax) requests. These use JavaScript to request additional data from the Web server without having to reload the page.

  • Manipulating the DOM . You can easily add, remove, and reorder content in the Web page using just a couple of lines of code.

  • Creating image slideshows. You can use jQuery effects to build nice animated slideshows and lightboxes.

  • Making drop-down menus. jQuery makes it easy to create multi-level dropdowns with animations.

  • Creating drag-and-drop interfaces. Use jQuery to build a page with elements that can be repositioned or reordered simply by dragging and dropping.

  • Adding power to forms. With jQuery you can easily add complex client-side form validation, create auto-complete Ajax text fields that pull data from a server-side database, and so on.

3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?

  • The uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify, but itā€™s around 160kb in size (at the time of writing).

  • The minified .js file has all comments, whitespace, and other unnecessary characters removed from the file, squeezing the whole library into a mere 23kb. Although you canā€™t easily read the code, this is the version youā€™ll want to place on your site, as itā€™s much quicker for visitors to download.

Hello,

  1. jQuery is a library that simplifies the construction of web pages and web apps. With JQuery you can compact in a single line of code what would have required 20 lines of code with only javascript.

  2. jQuery makes both the file lighter, not having to rewrite code, less error prone, by having tried and true libraries to work under the hood and makes the overall page more dynamic with less hassle.

  3. Both versions are for different needs: the uncompressed one is clearly readable and amendable but heavy. The minified version sacrifices clarity for lighter file size. If you need to poke around the code you will use the first one, if you need to have something lightweight running in the background you will use the second.
