Can I develop knowing jquery but not javascript?

Question

Can I do everything I need to do for a complex website with just jquery but not javascript. For example a dating site.

I am trying to take on bigger projects (backend work) and want to invest the smallest time possible since I do not have much time.

I don't care whats more effective as long as the job gets done.

Answer 1

You can pretty much use just jQuery commands, yes. It is JavaScript though, so by usig jQuery, you are using JavaScript.



For the backend you'll need a server-side scripting language though, the most common one is PHP.

Answer 2

Jquery is just a Javascript library that makes working with the HTML DOM easier. You can't use JQuery unless you know Javascript.

Answer 3

It is not possible. JQuery is a library of JavaScript and not a web language. You must have knowledge of JavaScript in order to use JQuery properly in your website.

Answer 4

you can use some jquery without using javascript but eventually when you need bigger things you will need to learn javascript

Answer 5

They are totally different domains - you probably need both.
