Review of jQuery Hotshot by Dan Wellman

2013-05-26

JavaScript is something I have been trying to get better at for a couple of years now, and I’ve been concentrating on writing vanilla JS while paying very little attention to libraries such as jQuery. However I realise jQuery isn’t going to go away. I will have to deal with it in other people’s code and I still use it to cover my ass for things like AJAX, where I wouldn’t be confident that I could write good cross browser vanilla JS.
