Jquery just abstracts the whole process. If you check it's source code you will find its pretty much the same thing.

One benefit of Jquery is the for solving any cross browser headache e.g getElementsByClassName is not fully supported, same with querySelectorAll.
I guess it's necessary evil especially when it comes to front end development.

True... another example is the addEventListener and attachEvent methods. Jquery simplifies them all.

lol

First to comment, PHP WAR BOYS, oya, come and finish off this dude once and for all. . . . .

i guess u don't understand why Javascript libraries and frameworks like jQuery, Prototype, Angularjs and Backbone.js are more popular than Javascript itself.

Client - side Javascript programming is hell without libraries and frameworks for both trivial and non-trivial case.

Believe me, u don't want to go there

Nice post @larisoft.

@larisoft, By __construct(ing) first, You can initialize and set straight up:

$name = new person( "Name" ) ;
$confession = new person( "Confession" ) ;
$punishment = new person( "Punishment" ) ;

So we are down to three lines of code, I don't get your point with the code sample/comparison you gave...you can't criticize a language you aren't very good at. I understand PHP might not be the best language out there but wrongly criticizing it's syntax is bad.

Besides, i feel PHP can be easily maintained and understood if you properly document and comment. You can even use HHVM to expand it's capabilities further

<?hh
echo 'Hello World!' ;

I don't know if this is true because i don't have any source to prove this fact, but I think PHP has the shortest Hello World syntax

<?= 'Hello World'; ?>

Dan, what I was saying there is that the fact that the option exists at all to replace objects with arrays is tempting peeps to write bad code.

The shit hits the ceiling when you make a mistake in the string key while trying to access a or change a value.

e.g $value['name'] = 'me'.


then on another page you try to access $value['Name'].

Autosuggest won't work here (to correct your misspelling of 'name' , no matter the ide because its a string literal, not a variable.

when you pass this false object around, you must remember the correct spelling of each variable.

Thanks for reading Dan.

Oh okay, I understand you better.
