What is jQuery?
It is a library that facilitates and speeds up the creation of web pages and JavaScript web applications, allows you to write a single line of code, this minimizes the number of lines of code.
How does it help us as developers?
jQuery was one of the first to give shape and structure to this kind of projects, since its inception it was supported by a large community of developers which ensures its good future, and currently we could not talk about JavaScript without touching on the smallest part this great bookstore.
Why do we have 2 versions of jQuery: minified and uncompressed?
The uncompressed version makes it easy to read and modify, this version is heavier and more complete.
The minified version allows us to reduce the load times of the users, it simplifies the code.

1. What is jQuery?
It is a Javascript library that makes it a lot quicker and easier to build Javascript web pages and web apps.
2. How does it help us as developers?
Why reinvent to wheel when you can use a library to do it for you. It saves a lot of time.
3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
The minified version is used when you want to include jQuery on your website. It is smaller than the uncompressed version but a lot harder to read and modify. If you don’t want to change anything of jQuery the minified version is the best option.

  1. JQuery is a Javascript library of functions that can be used to quickly improve webpages and apps.
  2. It helps developers by not having to write out code that has already been created and can be called from the JQuery library. It facilitates the creation of animation, Ajax requests, DOM manipulation, image effects, user interface elements and can make things compatible for multiple web browsers.
  3. The two versions differ in the sense that the uncompressed file is for making it easy to read and modify, while the minified file is intended for improving load times.

  2. It helps us save time and not have to reinvent the wheel as the author says
  3. uncompressed is the complete version to load but is larger file to download while minified is smaller more compressed code so it can load faster

  1. JQuery is a free library that is free to download and use under the MIT and GPL licence.

  2. It allows us to build webpages and apps quicker and easier.

  3. There are 2 versions of the jQuery library as uncompressed is the easiest to read and modify but is vast. Whist minified has comments, whitespace, and other characters that are not requires removed thus reducing the size but this makes it harder to read. Minified is the version we will want to be using on our sites.

  1. What is jQuery?
  • jQuery is a library that makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript web pages 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. How does it help us as developers?
  • With jQuery, developers can do great things like animations, Ajax requests, DOM manipulation, image effects, and user interface elements by quickly adding the code and is compatible with all types of browsers.
  1. Why do we have 2 versions of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
  • The uncompressed version is easy to read and modify but more extensive size. A minified version was created, to load it quicky on the webpages.

  1. What is jQuery?
    JQuery is described as the “Write Less, Do More JavaScript Library”. It’s a very popular and extensive library of JavaScript code.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    JQuery allows developers to be more efficient by using pre-determined code (in .JS files) to populate their projects.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    The Uncompressed .JS files are easier to read with comments and good code formatting. Whereas the “Minified” .JS files are the best to use on a project as smaller file sizes are quicker to download for the user.

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

2.It helps developers with writing a few lines of code and easily write cross-browser JavaScript code, animations on elements, Ajax requests, manipulating, image effects, and user interface elements.

  1. The uncompressed is easy to read and modify, while the minified has all unnecessary characters removed from the file, squeezing the whole library together, you may not be able to easily read the code, but it’s much quicker for visitors to download.

  • What is jQuery?
    jQuery is a free JavaScript library that allow us to build quickly and easily web pages

  • How does it help us as developers?
    It help us by providing a bunch of functions already built by others and ready to re-use by us, this help us to build apps with shorter lines of code.

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

We have 2 versions of jQuery :
Uncompressed - Is readable and easy to modify
Minified - Has no comments, no spaces and all unnecessary characters removed, this make the code unreadable and impossible to modify.

    jQuery is a free JavaScript library.

  2. How does it help us as developers?

  • With jQuery you can write powerful JavaScript apps using fewer lines of code.
  • jQuery is great for things like animations, Ajax requests, DOM manipulation, image effects, and user interface elements.
  • jQuery lets you easily write cross-browser 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 it’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 can’t
    easily read the code, this is the version you’ll want to place on your site, as it’s much
    quicker for visitors to download.

It is open source JAVASCRIPT Library which gives access to a range of functions to build web pages and web apps. It comes in form of .js file that you link to from the webpage.
The javascript code then access the library by calling various jQuery functions.

2.How does it help us as developers?
It allows developers to write programs with few line of codes and it is cross browser.

3.Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
Uncomressed is to understand what is in the code used and modify in development phase which is larger in size where as minified is for production phase code for faster loading which is smaller in size .

  1. What is jQuery?
    jQuery is a free library for javaScript that allows performing complex functions in a single line rather than reinventing the wheel
  2. How does it help us as developers?
    It allows us developers to create ouur project reuses other codes than having to rewrite the code in javaScript which is already used in another app. For instance compatibility between browsers is an issue for developers, but rather writing individual code for each browser, it is better to call upon jQuery libraries
  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    uncompressed has all the comments and notes to help us read the code and understand what it is doing but is rather large in size which slows down the data download on client side to view the site. minified is the same version minus the whitespace, comments and other elements which are not required bringing it down from the 234kb region to the 23kb which means it is difficult to read, but fast for clients to download the info required Best to use the minified version on your projects

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

  2. It helps us as developers to write just one line of code to achieve what would have originally taken 10-20 lines of regular Javascript code to write. But there is indeed much more to it. We are also able to create stunning effects to our webpage and write code across different Web browsers.

  3. We have 2 versions of jQuery–minified and uncompressed–because we want to determine how large we want our code to be. If there were only one version, our code would be too large or too small. This is not a “one size fits all” situation.

Thank you!

jQuery is a library that allows to simplify JS code down to fewer lines.

It helps developers as stated above, for more concise lines of code as well as additional commands to the dom, animations, etc without having to program our own code.

there are 2 versions of jQuery, uncompressed, which is easier to read. Then minified, which takes up less space removing whitespace and other characters, and is faster for the user to load.

  1. JQuerry is a JS library that makes it easier and quicker to build JS web pages and apps.

  2. JQuerry allows developers to get common tasks that are already done by other developers. So, it combines long codes into the shorter version.

  3. Uncompressed version is around 120 KB in size and contains comments, whitespaces and characters which provides readability but minified version is around 26KB and the above elements are omitted making it faster to implement.
