What Exactly Is jQuery?

According to jQuery.com, jQuery is a fast, concise, JavaScript library that simplifies how you traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, and add Ajax interactions to your web pages. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

In simpler terms, jQuery allows you to turn ten lines of traditional Javascript code into two! Combine an enormous range of features with cross-platform compatibility and you have one robust framework. Before you know it, you'll be creating everything from rich forms to Flash-like menus. Don't worry if the task of learning yet another new framework seems daunting.
