Must i really be an expert in javascript?

Question

Hello coders. I just completed html and css courses. I wanted to take JavaScript as my next course however i read somewhere that jquery is a JavaScript library which makes the latter "easier" and more understandable. My quiz is must i be an expert in JavaScript for me to learn jquery?

Your response will be highly appreciated!

Answer 1

its true. learn basic javascript first, so you understand the benefit of jquery over javascript.

Answer 2

not really, but since JQuery is based on JS you should at least cover the basics, so I recommend you first take the JS course.
Good luck!
😃

Answer 3

I agree with @Nikolay Nachev and @Agus Mei. JQUERY is a compliment to Javascript. I definitely recommend that you learn the fundamentals of JS first. All the best ;)

Answer 4

Thank you guyz for all your responses. Now i'll have to study javascript basics first. Happy coding everyone!

Answer 5

Adding to wht Nikolay said. Jquery is written in JS. You would not able use Jquery if u don't have basic understanding in JS. Learning JS will help you to try out other JS frameworks and libraries like Angular , React , Node ...

Answer 6

Don't learn JavaScript only to get on with jQuery. JavaScript is a very important language in web development and would help you ahead if you want to learn newer JS frameworks like React, Node, etc. like @Eranga F said

Answer 7

no, you don't need to be expert, just learn as much as you can or learn what you need, you will know what you need to learn when you are working on real projects.

GoodLuck
