Learning jQuery

Ever since jQuery libraries have been launched, front-end web development has changed. Websites are now more user-friendly, and with more features than every before. jQuery along with CSS has brought a revolution in website development, and it should continue for years to come.  There are header effects, grid variations, displaying animations, fade-in effects and various other things.

The major reason why jQuery became popular is they allow CSS developers to work with it and take the front seat. You can write absolutely independent and unobtrusive code and place it in the main code anytime. This allows you to edit a website very easily and keep changing the look of it to keep it fresh.  The jQuery library allows you to easily manipulate HTML even after being displayed in a browser and lets you communicate with a server without reloading the page.
