jQuery Rocks!

Testing Code Highlighting

The obligatory ‘Hello World’ program for jQuery.

$(document).ready(
    function()
    {
        alert('Hello World');
    }
);

Welcome

I still remember when I learned about jQuery in begining of 2007. I was using YUI at that time and I wasn’t really impressed with jQuery. I felt that verbose YUI code is more readable than jQuery code. What I didn’t realize at that time is that I found jQuery code hard to read because I didn’t really know much about the library.

As time passed, jQuery became more and more popular and I decided to have a second look. And boy, was I pleasantly surprised! After having used Prototype/YUI/Ext Js, I found jQuery to be fresh breath of air. The more I learned it, more I fell in love with it. Through this blog, I hope to show you how jQuery is a the BEST JS library on planet earth! I plan to show you real jQuery code which will make you say, ‘That is cool! jQuery Rocks!’
