  1. What is jQuery?

jQuery is known as the “write less, do more JavaScript library”. It is by far the most popular JavaScript library currently in use.

  1. How does it help us as developers?

jQuery 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.

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

The uncompressed .js file is easy to read and modify.

The minified .js file has all comments and unnecessary characters removed. Although it is not easy to read, its smaller size makes it better to use for websites as it will be much faster for visitors to download.

  1. What is jQuery?

jQuery is a free JavaScript Library that makes building JavaScript webpages and web apps easier and quicker

  1. How does it help us as developers?

With jQuery you can write powerful JavaScript apps and create eye-catching animated effects using fewer lines of code. Write less, do more.

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

The uncompressed version is easy to read and modify, but it’s larger (around 160) in kb size while the minified version has all comments, whitespace, and other unnecessary characters removed from the file and therefore the whole library is significantly smaller in size (23kb). Because of that is not easy to read the code in minified version . For final version of website, it is better to use minified version because it is much quicker for visitors to download.

  1. What is jQuery?
    It is a free library written in JavaScript.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    It allows us to write powerful apps with fewer lines of code. jQuery is great for things like animations, Ajax requests, DOM manipulation, image effects, and user interface elements.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    The uncompressed contains all the comments and white spaces and is therefore easy to read. The minified has all that removed, sacrificing the readability in favor of file size and consequently download speed.

  1. jQuery is a free library that makes it quicker and easier for us to build JavaScript webpages and web apps.
  2. It makes it easier for us to write powerful JavaScript apps and among other things, create great animated effects, make XML (Ajax) requests, manipulate the DOM or generate powerful forms.
  3. The uncompressed version contains the code with all comments and spaces, it is easier to read and modify, but it has a certain weight when downloaded (around 160 KB). On the other hand, the minified version is less easy to read because all the comments and superfluous spaces are removed, but it is much quicker to download (around 25 KB).

  1. What is jQuery?

JQuery is a free for all to use Javascript library. Simply calling a reference from their library enables that code to be used within your development/project. Also, using this code can counteract any problems that placing the site on different browsers could potentially create.

  1. How does it help us as developers?

It helps developers by being able to input a single line of code as opposed to inputting multiple lines, in effect.

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

The uncompressed version is quite a large file (160 kb) that once downloaded, can be easily modified to the developer’s individual requirements or design. However, because of the size of the file, the page can be slow to load.

The minified version of JQuery has a smaller size file (23 kb) which enables the developer to use on their site without compromising download speed. However, the code is quite complex and maybe not be so easy to alter to the developer’s specific needs.

  1. jQuery is a free library of functions for JavaScript.
  2. It helps us by doing some things for us. We don’t need to do everything ourselves and we can use someone’s smarter knowledge :slight_smile: .
  3. The whole idea for having uncompressed and minified versions is that we use uncompressed when developing but when we upload to server we use minified to save time when clients of web page downloading it.

What is jQuery?
It is a library of javascript functions.

How does it help us as developers?
It helps developers by condensing the lines of javascript needed to accomplish common tasks. This therefore speeds up development as there is no need to create this functionality yourself. It also solves the cross browser problem by checking the type of browser and using an appropriate function which has been tested on this browsers implementation.

Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
One version is used for development and has all the coding comments and spacing expected for a developer to understand how the code works. The other version has all unnecessary space removed resulting in an illegible file but one which is much smaller and therefore quicker to transport over the network and load into the client.

It is a JavaScript-based library that allows a faster and easier way to code in JS.
2.
Makes use of building blocks from previous coded projects, making it easier and quicker to code, using JQuery library; as well as using less space. Also, allows writing to multiple browsers at the same time.
3.
The uncompressed.js file despite being easy to read and modify, uses a big chunk of space, 160kb, so the minified.js file is more adequated in cases where is space is important, but with it, compromising and removing comments, whitespace, and other unnecessary characters, fitting in a mere 23kb.

  3. The uncompressed version is the one that you can easily read and learn from, but you will want to use the minified version for live sites.

  1. jQuery is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps.

  2. It helps us as developers because it saves time writing code for someting that has been done so many times before and works.

  3. Uncompressed you use to develop, it’s full of comments and useful variable names. Minified you use to actually send to clients to save you some bandwidth and them some loading time. Minified is effectively the same code, but no comments and a variable like elementTagName may simple be t …not very useful for debugging.

  1. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
  • There are two versions of jQuery, for one of them is smaller in size. Because of the size difference, the code may be harder to read for one version when compared to the other version
