1 00:00:00,390 --> 00:00:06,540 As you probably guessed, JavaScript is a fairly complex language with many functions and capabilities. 2 00:00:07,670 --> 00:00:11,650 To proficiently become familiar with all of Java scripts, unique features. 3 00:00:12,130 --> 00:00:16,330 It would likely take years of practice in what may seem like endless coding. 4 00:00:17,410 --> 00:00:24,370 To significantly simplify the coding process, developers have created JavaScript libraries that contain 5 00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:29,170 many commonly used functions and methods that you can simply call when needed. 6 00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:36,810 You might recall we explored some basic functions in the JavaScript course that we programmed ourselves. 7 00:00:37,770 --> 00:00:41,520 We developed blocks of code to perform particular tasks. 8 00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:47,260 One such library and perhaps the most widely used is known as J. 9 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,290 Query, the J. 10 00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:59,140 Query library contains many features, including HMO manipulation, CSF manipulation effects and animations 11 00:00:59,740 --> 00:01:01,600 and AJAX capabilities. 12 00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:08,780 In this section of the course, we will explore Jake query and provide examples of many of the powerful 13 00:01:08,780 --> 00:01:11,150 features this library has to offer. 14 00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:18,570 It's important to note that many of the biggest companies are currently using J query in their Web applications. 15 00:01:19,290 --> 00:01:22,620 Companies such as Google, Microsoft and IBM. 16 00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:28,760 Jake Query allows you to harness and unleash the full power of modern day Web development.
