jQuery Reading Assignment

  1. JQuery is a free JavaScript library that gives us access to multiple functions with just a few line of JavaScript code.

2)It provides free lines of code already written by someone else and high availability for all web browsers.

3)The uncompressed version includes comments, whitespaces and extra lines of code that make it easier to read but also heavier in data size. The minified version is recommended for web apps because it gets rid of all that extra code to free up space.

  2. as developers, the JQuery library makes it easy for us to borrow complex bits of code to perform functions without writing it from scratch. (don’t reinvent the wheel). likewise, it can simplify tasks such as conforming these bits of code across multiple different browsers. it provides simplification and promotes ease of use through utilization of few lines of code.

    It’s the most popular, free JavaScript library that makes it quicker and easier to build powerful JavaScript webpages and web apps with fewer lines of code.

  2. How does it help us as developers?

  • Because with JQ you can write a single line of code to achieve what would have taken 10-20 lines of regular JavaScript code.
  • it makes it easy to write JavaScript that works on many different browsers.

  1. Why do we have 2 version of jQuery - minified and uncompressed?
    Because we can choose to compromise depending on what we want.
  • 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 the most popular library for JavaScript. It is free to use.

  2. It helps us to abstract our code. Also functions called through JQuery make the code run on every browser.
    JQuery plug-ins allow more functionality and animation to our applications.

  3. The uncompressed version of code allows better readability. It also contains comments. In order to understand and maybe modify the code you would look at this version.

    The minified version abandoned all unnecessary characters and makes the code unreadable, however it takes up less space and is therefor easier and faster to download. You would rather use this version for your applications.
