i'm wondering if information technology'due south okay to larn Jquery before learning Javascript. Javascript looks like a very intimidating linguistic communication and i didn't have this much trouble when i was learning HTML and CSS on my ain. So is learning Jquery before JavaScript something that is recommended or non? and if not, what are the best ways to larn JavaScript?

I'd learn the bare basic of Javascript first for certain, because yous will demand it.

You might non actually need to know all the underlying Javascript details of how a jQuery fade-out is washed, or whatever other transition, merely you'll definitely demand to know how a Javascript loop is done, or if/then/else, or how to assign and bank check variables, and so on. You're still going to use that with all that jQuery.

I recall it's totally ok to showtime with jQuery. You'll learn some bones interaction stuff without whatsoever cognition of JavaScript. One time you experience picayune bit more comfortable y'all can dive into the back end and see what jQuery is doing. From there you can take on some more advance topics.

I'm in the same boat and struggling. Learning js takes time.

I've used the first few chapters of http://eloquentjavascript.cyberspace

If you plan to learn javascript anyway and dont just want to brand some hover effects,accept time to learn javascript.Its a beautifull language.Just to sympathise what jquery is doing at every line.Then using jquery will be a tool non a struggle

I really started out trying to learn javascript and struggling. I didn't read much, merely I was able to follow and learn by case… this made information technology even more difficult because of inconsistencies betwixt browsers. Some $.25 of lawmaking turned out to exist hacks to get around browser problems and everything got really disruptive.

And then jQuery came along and it was the similar the difference between reading Klingon and a recipe for chocolate scrap cookies. Information technology was and so like shooting fish in a barrel to get things washed. Needless to say, I yet struggle with javascript, but I understand how it works, just don't inquire me to write an event handler that works cross browser all the way dorsum to IE6, because I'd respond with use`.on()` instead of… well this lawmaking:

function bindEvent(element, type, handler) {
if(chemical element.addEventListener) {
element.addEventListener(blazon, handler, false);
} else {
element.attachEvent('on'+type, handler);
}
}

Yes, I had to look that up LOL :P

As what the others accept said hither, you lot'll need to cease upwards learning javascript anyway, simply y'all'll be learning information technology from Martha Steward instead of Rosanne Barr.

I definitely started with jQuery and would recommend that route to anyone. It was significantly easier to grasp and lends itself nicely to learning vanilla JS.

#130690

I believe, if you will be using javascript for a while, to acquire javascript first. It may not seem as flashy and piece of cake to grasp compared to jquery but you lot will exist cut yourself brusk from learning what javascript is truly capable of. Trying to learn a language library written in said language earlier learning it'southward cadre seems a trivial self destructive.

However, everyone learns different, similar the Doc said, he learned jQuery first and it worked for him, merely my two cents.

The part of JavaScript that you need to know if you use jQuery is relatively easy and yous tin can learn that while learning jQuery itself… syntax, operators, variables (knowing about variable telescopic is important), types, control structures etc. etc. It becomes harder when yous need to know all DOM related functions, with their browser support (if y'all thought IE was being a bitch with CSS, try JS) and workarounds, luckily jQuery does that for y'all.

#130695

It's a good thought to learn the basics of javascript first as yous will demand to understand some of the concepts that are javascript, with that been said, I think you lot tin start learning jQuery starting time and pick up those bits up as you go along. If i call back correct, Simon Allardice has got a really adept JS introductory course on lynda.

Stuff like provisional statements, functions, function calls and passing arguments – you lot're going to need to know how those things work but like what CrocoDillon said, jQuery is awesome considering you can look information technology to work pretty much the same across all browsers.

Everybody kinda hates learning vanilla js because of the DOM inconsistencies in different browsers.Javascript is non just that.It tin can go from simple DOM manipulation(animating an chemical element where browsers doesnt support css transitions and animations) to full scale applications,working with different API's and and so on.

Google wrote a compiler that compiles Coffee to Javascript(https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/md/1.6/DevGuideCodingBasics)

> The GWT compiler translates Java source into JavaScript

Javascript is already 1 of the most used programming languages considering of the DOM unfortunately merely projects like Node.js proved that is a language that can be used front end as well as dorsum end
