jQuery Tutorial #1 - jQuery Tutorial for Beginners

This jQuery Tutorial for beginners will help you get jQuery on your page and get up-to-speed with how to use basic jQuery commands.

What is jQuery? As you'll see in this tutorial, even beginners to javascript can write jQuery within minutes. It's also the most universally used javascript library in the world at present, so odds are your next employer will be using it.

The first thing we'll be doing in this jQuery lesson is showing, hiding, fading, & sliding. Next, we'll modify contents of elements and learn to do a better job keeping our code clean.

Lesson #2: Listen to user events and respond with jQuery actions!

Lesson #3: Clean up the jQuery by putting some data in the HTML

Excellent lesson - no filler, no BS, no dumbass intros or your life story - just the facts like you'd present them if you were teaching a friend the quick and dirty way.

I really appreciate Youtubers like you guys dedicating passion to teaching us for free. Many college teachers they just don't really have (or show) their passion for cs or web development or the stuff they are teaching to students. A lot of time their lectures are boring or slow-paced. Yours are way much better than theirs.(Sorry for this almost four yrs later comment)

I like your video, you're positive and you're not just teaching it dry but fact that you're telling us is fun and showing it at the same time makes me want to learn it more. thank you.

I like the fact you bring this all in a fun way. To many are to serious when explaining coding. Thank you. Grtz from the Netherlands.

Man, this should've been the first thing I watched before embarking on the jQuery adventure.

That made total sense.

Thank you, sir!

I was getting ready to blow my brains out trying to learn javascript. Thanks of showing me how easy and fun it can be with JQ. You're a good teacher dude.

This got to be the best intro to JQuery in the interwebs. Hats off you, sir!

Hey, I just had to log in to youtube and come here to comment on your tutorial. I am an amateur programmer and an avid watcher of youtube tutorial videos. I am new to JQuery even though I have experience with Javascript. Your energetic and passionate style just made me subscribe. That is something that most videos are missing. Thank you, I will be sure to finish all your videos.

I don't know how to say thank to you. i just started watching this series about two hours ago and still watching it. loved the way you explained everything, simple and clear. Really helpful. I am a programmer but never took additional step than CSS in web development. Always wanted to learn JS and JQuery and finally i found this great series. Thanks again. looking forward for more tutorials on JS.

Thank you so much for this video. After weeks and weeks of school I only just now understand what the whole 'library' thing means.
I had a terrible teacher who just said "you don't really have to know why, just use it and it'll work", but things are much easier to remember and understand if you actually know what stuff does.

as UI/ UX designer this tutorial helps me to expand my coding knowledge. Thanks..!

[kathrynmorrical]

I know quite a few languages/frameworks but somehow never learned jquery. Thank you for making it super simple and easy to understand!

Greetings from Taiwan.
You are the best coding instructor on this planet, Will.
Love your teaching style and the enthusiasm.
I am hoping there will be more lessons coming up.
Right now, I am on the border of Front-End Developer, and ready to become one.
Well, hope you will become the "PewDiePie" in coding world.

[unityelt]

Nice and easy explanation. Im on my second year of college but I have not learned jquery yet. I was curious to see how it works. You made it so simple, really, thank you.

[DarlingBryan]

[WolfieSilveira]

[prashanthvaidya]

I don't know about "GOD", but this guy Will Stern, comes really close.
So much knowledge is poured into 10 minute videos.
Massive respect for making these videos. _/\_
Thankyou.

I think what you're doing is good, you tutorial shows beginners what can be done with jquery, which can make them interested to learn it, but for any beginner I would suggest the flow after html as javascript> jquery > and then react or whatever
