1.Jquery is a library that helps developer build JavaScript base application.
2.It increase efficiency in coding, for instance, it takes a line of code to achieve what would have taken 10 to 20 lines of JavaScript code. It also have powerful build in functions that could easily help us in creating popup menus, animation pages and so on.
3.the uncompressed version is easy to read and is use at times of writing. The down side is it takes out more space(160kb). For the minified version, it removes unnecessary lines of code such as comments which will squeeze the whole library to a mere 23kb. It can be easily downloaded but the only problem is the code can’t be read that easily.

1-jQuery is a javascript library that is used to make powerful websites and web apps in an easy and quick way.
2-It helps developers to avoid writing so many lignes, so it makes it easy to do the task in shorter time and without complexity.
3-there are 2 because the minified version is squeezed, so it is hard to read the code but it is quicker to use because of its small smize, the uncompressed: it can be read easily, every thing is clear but it has a big size which makes it slower to be downloaded.

  1. jQuery is a Library that is designed to make it easier for developers to design and create webpages and web apps.

  2. Not only does it have built in features that we can all implement in our web apps but it also sets a standard that many web developers are using. If we ever find a fulltime job working with the industry standard is always a plus when working as a team.

  3. Uncrompressed is simpler to read and understand but it is quite larger than the minified version which could cause speed issues making the minified version a better version for when speed on web apps is important.

  1. What is jQuery?

A javascript library in the form of a single .js file.

  1. How does it help us as developers?

Taking shortcuts on javascript development. It is possible to accomplish a task while using a single line of code instead of multiple lines that would’ve been neccessary if the same program would have been written without jQuery.

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

With the ‘minified’ version we can speed up user experience as it’s quicker to download while still providing full jQuery functionality.

          1.What is jQuery?

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

      2.How does it help us as developers?

Instead of writing 10 - 20 lines of code…you can use 1 or 2 to achieve a functionality.
jQuery’ strong point is that it makes it easy to write JS that works on many different browsers.

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

uncompressed is easy to read and modify.
minified squeezes the whole library to 23kb. Difficult to read the code, but this is the version
that most use. quicker for vistors to download.

  1. jQuery is a library of codes written in JavaScript, and comes in the form of a single .js file that you link to from your webpage.

  2. 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.

  3. The uncompressed .js file is for programmers to be able to easily read and modify codes. While the minified .js version is smaller in size and this is the version that the programmer should put in their pages so that they’ll have good user experience when a user visits their page.

  • Most popular JS library. It contains free to use functions that simplify and speed up the coding of animations, Ajax requests, DOM manipulation, image effects, and user interface elements.
  1. How does it help us as developers?
  • You can write powerful JavaScript apps using fewer lines of code.
  1. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
  • uncompressed contains he library code + comments and unnecessary characters;
  • minified contains the bare code necessary for the library to function without the comments, unnecessary characters, … This file if much smaller and it is recommended to use this one for your site.

  1. What is jQuery?
  • jQuery is one of the most well known and widely used Javascript library.
  1. How does it help us as developers?
  • It helps developers by adding powerful functionalities to your program without needing to code all the features yourself from scratch.
  1. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
  • The uncompressed version is easier to understand with all the annotations, comments and explanations of the code and functionalities, while the minified version is harder to understand but easier to load therefore should be used as a source library when coding.

    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.

  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.
    Sure, you can do all of the above by writing your own JavaScript, but it’s so much easier just to use jQuery. Why reinvent the wheel?
    Another of jQuery’s strong points is that it makes it easy to write JavaScript that works on many different browsers. Incompatibilities between popular browsers such as IE, Firefox and Safari mean that you often need to write different chunks of JavaScript code for each browser. With jQuery, however, you just call the appropriate jQuery function and let jQuery deal with making the code run on different browsers.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    The jQuery library actually comes in 2 forms:
    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.

1- jQuery is a javascript library that decrease the time to MVP to build javascript apps.

2 - jQuery allows developers to invoke a lot of common tasks that require many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps them into methods that you can call with a single line of code.

3 - The uncompressed .js file and the minified .js file: the first is for developer who want to understand wat is in the code, the second (also for developers) is for the use, there are no comment , it is difficult to read but it’s quicker to download

  1. JQuery is an open-source library, where we can use already proven codes, what makes it quicker and easier to build JavaScript webpages and web apps.

  2. Developer save a lot of time as they can use already proven code. They also save space, as the codes in the library are already compressed to their simplest version. - instead of writing 20 lines code, we can use already proven, shorter and more elegant one.

  3. The uncompressed code is much larger, but also easier to use and interact with. The minified version is smaller in size, thus quicker, mostly used by developers as all unnecessary characters are removed already

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

It helps developers condense their code and allows them to develop their projects faster. It also makes it easier to add effects to a project.

The uncompressed version is larger and contains spaces and comments. This makes it easier for programmers to read. The minified version does away with extra spaces and comments to condense the file size. When the file is used on a website it is able to be downloaded faster.

  1. What is jQuery?
    jQuery is a free collection of JavaScript functions that run across multiple browsers. Functions in the jQuery library include those giving websites animation effects, rendering common features such as slideshow and menus, facilitating easier manipulation of webpage elements, and communicating with servers without reloading the webpage.

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    By calling these functions from jQuery, developers can save writing many lines of code from scratch. Since jQuery has cross-browser functionality built in, developers do not need to worry about tailor-making codes for different browsers.

  3. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    The minified version is much smaller in size than the uncompressed version, allowing a much quicker download time for websites using the minified jQuery. The trade off is that all comments , whitespace, and other characters that help the code more readable to the human eyes are removed in the minified version. On the other hand, the uncompressed version is easier for developers to read and modify.
