What exactly is jQuery  jQuery is a JavaScript Library! • Interac)on with the DOM (e.g. selec)ng, crea)ng, traversing, changing etc…) • JavaScript Events • Anima)ons • Ajax interac)ons

Add class ‘odd’ to a table row... var tables = document.getElementsByTagName(‘table’); for (var t = 0; t < tables.length; t++) { var rows = tables[t].getElementsByTagName("tr"); for (var i = 1; i < rows.length; i += 2) { if (!/(^|s)odd(s|$)/.test(rows[i].className)) { rows[i].className += ‘odd’; } } }; ...becomes... h]p://jsbin.com/esewu/edit

Poetry jQuery(‘table tr:nth-child(odd)’).addClass(‘odd’);

Using jQuery we can do this jQuery(‘table tr:nth-child(odd)’).addClass(‘odd’); jQuery func)on

Using jQuery we can do this jQuery(‘table tr:nth-child(odd)’).addClass(‘odd’); jQuery Selector (CSS Expression) jQuery func)on

Using jQuery we can do this jQuery(‘table tr:nth-child(odd)’).addClass(‘odd’); jQuery Selector (CSS Expression) jQuery func)on jQuery Collec)on

Using jQuery we can do this jQuery(‘table tr:nth-child(odd)’).addClass(‘odd’); jQuery Selector (CSS Expression) jQuery func)on jQuery Collec)on jQuery Method

Using jQuery we can do this jQuery(‘table tr:nth-child(odd)’).addClass(‘odd’);

Further Reduced $(‘table tr:nth-child(odd)’).addClass(‘odd’);

Further Reduced var jQuery = function(...) { ... }; // $ is a valid variable character in JavaScript var $ = jQuery; $(‘table tr:nth-child(odd)’).addClass(‘odd’);

It really is the  “write less, do more”  JavaScript Library!
