jQuery Reading Assignment

Javascript Programming
#943

  1. a open source, free, often used .js library

  2. saves time (you don’t have to write new functions to create the same output you could have using jQuery), shortens your code (the space an own function would take in your code is higher than using a jQuery function)

  3. the uncompressed version is the version containing all the informations that are useful to know for a developer (e.g. comments). Something like a “students” version.
    The minified version is the one that should be linked from your code, since it is much more lightweight. Effects: the page loads faster (by the way, fast loading also becomes more and more important for ranking with your site well on search engine result pages. Not written in the text but I am doing SEO for many years now)

Reading Assignment: jQuery.

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

  2. How does it help us as developers?
    Often with jQuery you can write a single line of code to achieve what would have taken 10-20 lines of regular JavaScript code.
    It will bring a lot of eye candy features, effects to our programming and let us easily write cross-browser JavaScript code.

  3. 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.

    Mini is stripped of comments, white spaces, and all other components not needed for the code execution.
    Makes it less readable but it’s ‘lighter’.

1 It’s a free, big JS library, easy and quick to use. Great for animations, Ajax requests, DOM manipulation, image effects and web broswer user experience.
2. Allow developers to write useful app scripting fewer line of code. They can write a single line of code instead of 10 at least with JQuery.
3. Because the minified version is formatted in light version in order to be downloaded fast from the broswer. The uncompressed version it’s a bigger file more readable, this containing comments and the whole code indented and ready to be modified.

minified JQuery is a much smaller code, which fits in your website.
Uncompressed is easy to read but is a much bigger file.

  1. JQuery is a free Javascript library
  2. JQuery contains many useful functions that allow developers to use higher level javascript functions without writing all the code needed. It also provides support for other browsers.
  3. Uncompressed jQuery is human-readable, it is used to provide developer a deeper understanding of jQuerry functions. Minified version has the same code but stripped of all the white spaces and extra code so it is as small as possible. It’s not human-readable but it loads much faster, that’s why we use it on our servers.

  1. jQuery is a Javascript Library where coders can source reliable code for just about any function you might need to make a unique GUI

  2. jQuery helps developers by saving them a lifetime of having to create code unnecessarily. Like it says, why reinvent the wheel when you can just input code.

  3. One version has a lot of user friendly spaces and indenting that makes it easy to read but takes up a lot of space, the alternate version eliminates the unnecessary spacing thus saves precious space and allows for faster loading of the script.

1- jQuery is a free Javascript library with already built codes.

2- It saves us time and work.

3- The minified files are ready and easier to use, also they are smaller in size but it’s difficult to read them. The uncompressed files are easier to read and modify however they are bigger in size and not that practical.
