Still the most popular JavaScript library in the world, learning jQuery is easier than ever!
What you'll learn
jQuery, the most used JavaScript library on earth

You should know some HTML and basic JavaScript
Description
Welcome to jQuery 101: jQuery for beginners.
Let’s start with the big question: is jQuery still used? The answer is absolutely YES. jQuery is responsible for the JavaScript on hundreds of millions of websites. I’ll repeat that:
jQuery is responsible for the JavaScript on hundreds of millions of websites.
It's so common that content delivery websites track over 1 billion downloads per month (each!). That's a mind blowing number!!
jQuery was originally created to bridge the JavaScript gap between browsers before JavaScript started to become more standardized. Internet explorer and firefox used JavaScript differently. Chrome and Safari implemented JavaScript differently. And jQuery was how you could write one language that “just worked”.
These days that's less of a problem, and jQuery is simply used as a tool for writing less JavaScript in a more powerful way.
Look, I know lots of people say you should skip learning jQuery altogether, but consider this: if it’s used by over 100 million websites and still favored by organizations like the Django Framework, then there is clearly a market demand for this skill.
