jQuery is a lightweight, "write less, do more", JavaScript library. The purpose of jQuery is to make it much easier to use JavaScript on your website. jQuery takes a lot of common tasks that require many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps them into methods that you can call with a single line of code. jQuery also simplifies a lot of the complicated things from JavaScript, like AJAX calls and DOM manipulation.

Takes less code for things that you usually do using DOM, manipulating by tags or IDs in the HTML code. Also uses functions for hiding and showing elements.

You can also learn from the JQuery tutorial on SL.
