What is JQuery???

Recently I met one of my friend who is running a software company in Chandigarh. I talked to some of the employees of Cybrain Solutions and saw some demos of their cool websites created in Jquery. They recentlt started working in JQuery. As of there ar very few websites are live but they are currently working on approximately 15 websites. Even many clients come up with their requirements and say "Can I have a cool web portal in JQuery". They are very excited about the coolness of JQuery with good perfomance.

JQuery is a lightweight cross-browser JavaScript library that emphasizes interaction between JavaScript and HTML. JQuery is the most popular JavaScript library in use today.

JQuery is free and open source software. jQuery's syntax is designed to make it easier to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applications. jQuery also provides capabilities for developers to create plugins on top of the JavaScript library. Providing this option, developers are able to create abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, theme-able widgets. This contributes to the creation of powerful and dynamic web pages.

Microsoft and Nokia have announced plans to bundle jQuery on their platforms. Microsoft adopting it initially within Visual Studio for use within Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX framework and ASP.NET MVC Framework whilst Nokia has integrated it into their Web Run-Time widget development platform.

The Seaside framework provides full integration of jQuery allowing to write web applications entirely in Smalltalk.
