You know what the hell is going on guys, you're watching JQuery Father's Dinner Lesson 1
Alright guys, I want to welcome you to what is quite possibly the best JQuery tutorial series on the far right of the minute
I'm joking of course, but it is going to be pretty awesome. But before we get started I want to go through just a few things you're going to need to know to make the most out of this course
The first one is HTML, because JQuery and JavaScript in general are all about manipulating and changing and interacting with HTML
So if you don't know any of that then you're going to be interacting with nothing
This is going to be a bit dark. So I've got a course for beginner HTML. I'll leave a link to that down below in the description
The second thing you need to know is some JavaScript. The third thing you need to know comes from the basics, things like loops, variables, if statements, the different types of data you can use in JavaScript
And all the same rules apply in JQuery as they do in JavaScript
Because at the end of the day, JQuery is not a language on its own, it's just a JavaScript library
It enhances JavaScript for us. So if you don't know any of that, go ahead and check out my JavaScript for Beginners tutorial
I'll leave that in the description down below also. The third thing you need to know is a little bit of CSS
You don't need to be a wizard, you just need to know a few different selections, how to target content on a page
And that's because in JQuery we're going to use these selections to target the content also, making working with the DOM much, much easier. Alright
So now we've got that out of the way, I want to go through the syllabus, basically what we're going to be covering in this playlist
Alright, so I thought the word syllabus made me sound too much like a college lecturer, so I went to Musubus instead
That sounds quite cool. So, the Musubus guide is this. We're going to be looking, first of all, at what JQuery is and how we use it in our JavaScript files
The second thing we're going to do is take a look at this DOM in JQuery and how we use those CSS selections to target content within your HTML
Then we're going to look at interacting with that content. By that I mean adding, removing or changing the HTML
After we've done that, we'll take a look at how JQuery handles events, which is a big improvement on the vanilla JavaScript, much easier in my opinion
Then we'll take a look at animations, sliding things from left to right, sliders, faders, that kind of thing
And then finally, we're going to look at a couple of examples using JQuery, real-world examples that is, and some plugins
Plugins are essentially just additions to JQuery that we can use in our JavaScript code to make life easier or perform a specific function for us
So, that's what we're going to be doing, guys. I hope you're looking forward to this course as much as I am
If you have any questions, you can leave those down below. Otherwise, guys, I'm going to see you in lesson two where we're going to take a look at what JQuery actually is
I'll see you guys then. I'm going to see you guys then
