jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript. It’s the definition from the author of JQuery. And JQuery also a cross browser javascript library, which means write once and run in every browser.
There are a lot of other AJAX frameworks out there, such as Prototype, Mootools, Ext library, Google Webtoolkit (GWT), Yahoo! UI library, script.aculo.us, Dojo Toolkit, etc. But JQuery is one that widely used and extended. I know JQuery for a long time, but i haven’t pay much attention to learn it. But this week i have to learn JQuery for my project, and it is quite fun.
My first thing to learn with JQuery is using AJAX to create, update and delete data, well known by CRUD operation. So what i make for the first time is, wall post with jquery. It is a very simple one. You can try it here. And download the source here.
I love JQuery!
