hi my fellow narialanders i have been writing code in c++ for quite some time so i, decided to learn web designing a bit so i started with html and css which, been the fact that i have been coding in other language it was very easy for me to learn and adapt to it so right now i think i am pretty comfortable with html and css presently am a bit confused because i dont know what next to learn between javascript and jquery and the true fact about it is that i really dont like javascript, before i even learnt html and css i tried to learn it for quite some days although i understands almost everything given my programming background but i just dont like the language right now i am faced with jquery and javascript and i was thinking of going straight to learn jquery pls i hope i am not making the wrong decision and if any body pass through that line when(i mean html, css and jquery before javascript) learning web designing should pls through light on it so i can know how to make the right decision and proceed with my learning thanks.

Jquery is a Javascript library meaning it was developed with javascript. Hence your still need to understand Javascript to use jquery effectively.For C++ developer it will be like "Should I learn OpenCV (which is a C/C++ library) or C++"

JavaScript is a programming language.
Jquery is a JavaScript Framework, I think it's pretty obvious which one you should learn first.

I think being a c++ programmer, you should grab JavaScript easily within 5 days because you are familiar with c++.

Even When U Re Using Jquery, You'll Still Be Using Javascript Within It To Make Things Work


The Few Advantage Of Jquery Is Its Selector '$'
Instead Of Javascript document.Blah Blah Blah
And The Way It Make Doing Somethings(like Ajax) - Which Help In Shortening Your Code Length - Easy

Still Yet Js Is The Koko

yes learning it is not the problem i have a good javascript pdf on my laptop i read some chapters and i understood most of the code at first glance but i thinks 2 me javascript is just somehow borin i have read about how some people learnt jquery bcause it quick to learn and get result and came back 2 learn javascript later so that why am just asking if is a nice plan if i learn jquery first anyway thanks for ure response

jquery first>> and u wont regret it

javascript should come first. Best advice

OP, you should obviously learn Javascript first. Like kudaisi said... Can you learn OpenCV without the knowledge of C++ ?

It won't make sense

Awesome Thread.Quite fascinating Topic.

I hope this helps.
OP, JavaScript happens to be a very broad language,if you really want to learn JavaScript in depth,i doubt you'd have the time for jquery depending on its application. maybe Front-end or back-end.

In this case, I assume its front-end. To get started with jQuery On the front-end,you just need to take a beginner's approach to JavaScript.
Just the basics will do, like loops,if and else statements,variables arrays and functions then take a deep dive into jquery.
But when you want to back end programming using node js,express js,Angular js etc. You need to learn JavaScript from the foundational principles to very complex topics.

Majority of developers use jQuery on the front-end instead of JavaScript. but on the back-end,it's pure js

Learn Jquery First At Your Own Detriment!! You'll Letter Regret It Cause You Wont Know How To Do Sh*t In Javascript When You Need It, You'll Be So Used To $(div) .onclick() so much that you wont know how to pull an event in js. And Even If You Get Started Don't Even Look Into Any Frame Work Or Library, Not Even Angular, Meteor, Express, React Etc Just Make Sure You Know Vanilla Js And Know It Well. Well I'm Speaking From Experience

Your background gives you a big advantage, and I understand you not liking JS I feel the same way coming from Java, JS will feel messy to someone used to the strict orderliness of C++, Java, C#.

That said, I think you should ignore Jquery, the future of web development is Single Page Applications, built with libraries like React and frameworks like angular, server-side rendering is gradually dying.

IMHO you should quickly study a good JS introductory material and then start learning ReactJS, angular 2 is still too young (first stable release was in September last year) especially for someone new to web development, angular 1 will gradually be replaced by 2 anyway.

No harm in starting with Jquery though, to get your hands dirty. But if I were in ur shoes I wouldn't, I would start with JS.

TAKE THAT FROM ME TOO.

This is the progression most web developers learn languages:

HTML-CSS/BOOTSTRAP-PHP-SQL-JAVASCRIPT-JQUERY-AJAX


Javascript before JQUERY is recommended.

I didn't like JS too but I recognise its importance.
