  1. jQuery contains codes that you can easily use in a program by calling uppon them.
  2. It shows how different options are coded, is good useable in different browsers and it costs less time to finish a program with it.
  3. The uncompressed version is to read the code and understand how it works, the size however is bigger than the minfied version which makes the minified version better for the app/site for speed.

  1. jQuery is a free library based on javascript ( comes in the form of a single “js” file) so that programmers can re-use the code to build their webpage and/or apps.

  2. It makes it easier and quicker to built javascript based websites and apps ( using fewer lines of code, is great for things like animations, Ajax requests, DOM manipulation, image effects, and user interface elements, lets you easily write cross-browser javascript code).

  3. The uncompressed version (160kb) is easier to read and modify which makes it better to use while developing. The minified version is the version you want to use in production since the file is way smaller (23kb) and therefore quicker for visitors to download.

  1. jQuery is a library that helps developers code faster by using commonly used functions instead of having to rewrite code.
  2. It helps developers by providing a comprehensive list of commonly used functions. This saves developers time and lets them focus on core elements of the project rather than rewriting functions that have been performed plenty of times in the past.
  3. The uncompressed version is for developers, but the minified version has all unneeded space removed for a much smaller file size. The minified version is preferred for websites since it’s a smaller site for visitors to download.

1 - What is JQuery?
JQ helps you write less and do more. It accomplishes this by linking to a JQ.js file and calling the appropriate JQ functions.
2 - How does it help us developers?
It saves us a lot of time, by not having to write a function from scratch. We just use the functions stored in JQ.
3 - Why two versions?
a - Uncompressed version has all the comment, and the code is easily read and understood. However the file is large.
b - Minified version, have all the comments and white spaces removed. It only has the actual code with no explanation. This is the version you’d want to use in your website. It’s small file and loads quickly.

1. What is jQuery?

It is a Javascript library, containing Javascript functions, and is used for mostly adding complex animations and styling to your website.

2. How does it help us as developers?

Most complex animations such as fading of an HTML element in and out or slideshows have already been encountered by web developers and have been put in JQuery for other developer to re-use.

Therefore, JQuery helps developers in that they don’t have to re-invent the wheel and write their own code for say an animation or a slide show; they can just use JQuery.

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

The uncompressed version contains spaces and is well commented while the minified version has all spaces and comments eliminated to save space.

These uncompressed version makes it easier for loading on websites that are built using JQuery.
