Why JQuery
Posted: October 2, 2009
I used to be one of those ‘He-Man’ coders. Why do I need to use libraries or frameworks? I’l just code it all by hand and it’ll be leaner and more efficient. Why would you bother to have an extra 15k download? That’s an extra server call! You get the idea.
While there certainly are some libraries or frameworks that are too big or that run slower, that’s more a sign of a poorly made library than anything else. JQuery is no poorly made library.
