Javascript Learning Question.

[Attila Hajzer]

Should you really have a background in Javascript before learning jQuery? is it really necessary? and if so how necessary?

[ScottMarshall]

Yes I believe you should, the basics of JavaScript will go a long way into Jquery for example in javascript a click function could be

document.getElementById(“#Your Element”).onclick = YourFunctionName

Whereas in Jquery it is very transferable an example would be –
$(“#YourElement”).click(function(){
});

Although it is not necessary it helps and will give you a better understanding before going into Jquery.

Welcome to the club im in the learning process, I know JavaScript quite well but am just starting in JQuery dont give up If I can do it Im sure you can.

Right on so am I im done my first year going on to the second, And I wouldn’t worry that’s what the first year is for to teach you the basics, I came into my program with no knowledge and im doing exceptionally well.
