Before you really get started with jQuery, I suggest visiting the documentation online and simply digesting how the API is organized. By understanding how the API is organized, you’ll more quickly navigate the documentation to the exact information you need, which is actually a significant advantage given that there are really a lot of different ways to code a jQuery solution. It’s so robust that it’s easy to get hung up on implementation because of the number of solutions for a single problem. I’ve replicated here for you how the API is organized. I suggest memorizing the API outline, or at the very least the top-level categories.
