Jquery
jQuery is a fast, lightweight, and feature-rich JavaScript library designed to simplify HTML DOM manipulation, event handling, animation, and AJAX interactions in web development.
Simplifies JavaScript coding
Easier DOM traversal and manipulation
Built-in support for AJAX and animations
Cross-browser compatibility
Great for adding interactive features quickly
Example:
// jQuery
$("#myButton").click(function(){
alert("Button clicked!");
});
No formal degree required
Preferred: 10+2 or college students with programming interest
Ideal for: Web developers, frontend developers, CS students, UI designers
Before learning jQuery, you should know:
HTML/CSS
JavaScript (Basics)
DOM structure
jQuery Library (from jquery.com)
Text editors like:
VS Code
Sublime Text
Atom
HTML/CSS – for structure and styling
JavaScript – jQuery is based on it
Bootstrap – often used alongside jQuery
AJAX/JSON – for asynchronous interactions
jQuery UI – Additional interactions and effects
CDNs – For easy inclusion (Google, Cloudflare)
Chrome DevTools – For debugging
jQuery is typically part of broader frontend or full-stack web development roles.
| Role | India Salary (Avg) | US Salary (Avg) |
|---|---|---|
| Front-End Developer | ₹3 – ₹6 LPA | $50,000 – $85,000/year |
| Full-Stack Developer | ₹5 – ₹12 LPA | $70,000 – $110,000/year |
| UI Developer | ₹3 – ₹8 LPA | $60,000 – $90,000/year |
| Freelance Web Developer | ₹300 – ₹2000/hour | $20 – $75/hour |
Still widely used in legacy systems, admin dashboards, and simple websites
Many CMS platforms like WordPress rely on jQuery
Used in Bootstrap v4 (though newer versions are jQuery-free)
Slowly declining in modern web development due to rise of:
React
Vue
Angular
However, learning jQuery is still helpful:
For beginners to understand JavaScript basics
For maintaining older websites or themes
For small-scale or static websites
🎯 Best used as a transition skill before jumping into modern JS frameworks.
jQuery is used in thousands of websites, especially:
TCS / Wipro / Infosys (for legacy projects)
freeCodeCamp (Free, beginner-friendly)
Udemy – Several detailed jQuery courses
Coursera / edX – Web Dev certifications include jQuery
Codecademy – Interactive tutorials
W3Schools / TutorialsPoint – Great for practice
| Platform/Institute | Approx. Fees (₹) |
|---|---|
| freeCodeCamp / W3Schools | Free |
| Udemy / TutorialsPoint | ₹500 – ₹3000 |
| Coursera / edX (with cert) | ₹3000 – ₹10,000 |
| NIIT / Simplilearn | ₹25,000 – ₹80,000 |
