Is it worth learning jQuery in 2022?

It's good to know jQuery and there are still use cases for it. However, you should not spend a lot of time learning it. jQuery should not be your focus this year. The biggest advantage of jQuery now is that you can manipulate the DOM with less code.

How long will it take to learn jQuery?

JQuery is easy-to-learn and can be learned within a few hours. However, it's always recommended that you have a basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript before getting your hands dirty with JQuery. JQuery is simply a JS library. In simpler terms, it has 4 basic uses.

Is learning jQuery worth it in 2021?

Yes, it is worth learning jQuery even in 2021, and it will be so for the next few years as well. jQuery is used by 95.7% of all the websites whose JavaScript library we know. When jQuery first appeared in 2006, it allowed developers to code only once. The library itself took care of browser compatibility.

I struggled with jQuery in Action because I felt it was more of a reference manual as opposed to a tutorial. Maybe a year ago it was the best reference/tutorial, but now there are a bunch of other alternatives.

On the other hand, I really enjoyed the book Javascript: The Missing Manual because I felt it had better examples. Don't let the title of the book fool you, after a quick introduction to JavaScript the author introduces you to jQuery and uses jQuery for the rest of the book.

I also purchased two PDF Books from Packt Publishing :

1) Learning jQuery 1.3

2) jQuery UI 1.6: The User Interface Library for jQuery

Both are recent publications and well written. You can often find "percentage off" discounts from your local user group or on the internet to apply to the purchase price of the downloadable PDF books.

If you're looking for a single book that covers both jQuery and the jQuery UI project, then this Wrox book might be useful: Beginning JavaScript and CSS Development with jQuery. A quick google search revealed that you can browse some of the contents of the book online at: Google Book Search - Beginning JavaScript Development With jQuery By Richard York

I would actually recommend learning from samples posted on the web. There are a bunch over at:
