JavaScript You Need to Know
Jack L. Franklin · Apress eBooks · 2013
jQuery is a framework that’s built on top of JavaScript, not a language in its own right. It is possible to write jQuery with barely any knowledge of JavaScript, but it’s not something I would recommend. If you want to be able to confidently write jQuery plug-ins for your site, or alter plug-ins others have written, you need to be familiar with basic JavaScript. This is why I’m starting with JavaScript that you need to know. This chapter will cover: JavaScript scripts on a web page Variables and objects in JavaScript JavaScript functions Conditionals Looping over arrays and objects Debugging JavaScript These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
