Who does not use jQuery these days?

I just downloaded VWDEx, fits my purposes.

It seems as if every website I go to, including the some which have just "coming soon" or "under construction" pages, use jQuery is some capacity. Yes, as a web developer I do like to see the source of a web site. I am really surprised at the amazing success of jQuery. I did think that it is a good tool and it will be somewhat popular but I had no idea that it will be popular to this extent.
I think we're about to see it get even more popular. It's now included as part of Visual studio 2010.

mmm... jQuery ... (googles it ) ... mmm ... Still don't get it. What is this intrawebby thing anyway. Do programmers write these things ???

It rocks. We are using it in anger for some projects and the developers are always smiling. The UI extension is pretty damn useful too.

I can't imagine writing our web apps without it, its been a godsend. No javascript is fun and all, but when you look to create a compelling UI, it's all you have really. Now if only someone could solve cross-browser CSS and HTML layout issues in the same sort of way :(( that's a bloody nightmare to deal with, and it WILL make you cry if you get into complex layouts.

I don't use it and don't plan on using it.

I don't use jQuery; I use MooTools. http://jqueryvsmootools.com/ is a pretty good overview and says a lot of the reasons why I like MooTools better :) jQuery is just focused on the DOM (and some AJAX), it's not useful for anything else. MooTools focuses on making JavaScript in general nice.

I am a very happy convert, as of mid 2009. jQuery rocks today! :)

Me... I don't use it. Actually, I don't even know what it is... Assume it's some kind of Java SQL engine, right? Of course, I don't do much web work... I run one Drupal-based site (Hmm, maybe that uses jQuery... I dunno), and one site I wrote entirely in Pico :)
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)It's a Javascript framework that eases animation, ajax, all those kinds of things. I prefer it greatly over normal Javascript. It's also great for crossbrowser, and is easily extensible. It's got NOTHING to do with SQL. http://jquery.com/[^]

Nope. All you need to know is to use <font> liberally, or you can just skip that and do it up in Word. :laugh:

It IS? Where exactly?

IIRC, it was included in VS 2008 as well.

Check out the announcement: http://blog.jquery.com/2008/09/28/jquery-microsoft-nokia/[^] As far as I know it's very much an integral part of ASP.Net MVC, so I suspect that is where you will find it.

I just never got into dynamic web development... Maybe I'm just getting old, but when I make a website, I want it to just sit there, not keep talking to the server even when the user isn't there.

While I tend to use it, it is frowned upon at my office as it is seen as bloat... They have written their own pile of global functions that they prefer to use... sigh

Wow, I'm actually surprised by the number of "don't use it" or "never heard of it" replies. IMHO, it's an essential part of any RIA. If you're not using a plugin like Silverlight or Flash, you gotta be thinking about using such a well accepted, cross-browser, cross-platform library like jQuery. Seems like it's probably one of the few useful libraries that is embraced by both Microsoft and IBM. Microsoft has fully incorporated it into the ASP.NET 4 webform and MVC components, and although IBM still pushed dojo (of course), there are tons of jQuery articles on IBM's developerworks site and it works well in all the IBM products. I even heard rumblings a while back that MS was going to opensource their ajax library probably because so much of it is now based upon jQuery. Not sure if they really did or not though. From the practical side, jQuery selectors are very flexible, allowing both DOM and CSS style selectors, and generally very fast. There are number of useful ui components and there is a large open source contribution as well. It's also super easy to create your own plugins. Want a treeview? Render a nested ul, call one jQuery.ui function and, bam!, you gotta nice treeview. Want a tabstrip? Render a collection of divs, call one jQuery.ui function and, pow!, there's a tab strip. Wanna do AJAX with a REST API? It's a simple jQuery function call, and it supports JSON, XML, HTML, text, as well as custom types. And it's all cross-browser. You might be wondering if I'm somehow affiliated with jQuery. I'm not. I just know it's been a godsend to me while trying to build and maintain commercial web applications that need to be cross-browser, cross-platform. I can build one client side codebase that works against either a .Net or a Java backend via an easy to create REST api. I would recommend jQuery to anyone... (actually, I think I just did :laugh: )

I've looked at it in the past, but seriously cannot find a reason to stop using Prototype over jQuery http://prototypejs.org[^] However, i believe they can co-exist if needed.

Use what you like but prototypes rendering speeds are the worst of the lot. http://mootools.net/slickspeed/[^] For full disclosure, I am in the mootools camp.
