On Code Pairing

Code pairing is one more method of learning that is used to improve retention, and learn the content. Greater efficiency, engaged collaboration, learning from fellow students, social skills , job interview readiness, and work environment readiness - code pairing does all these. It forces the pair programmers to grapple with the content, but also gives each of them someone to bounce ideas and concepts off of.

On jQuery

jQuery is browser-agnostic, uses language that any frontend developer knows, and is easily portable to any webpage.

The script/api is also very thorough in its capability, able to make DOM traversal, selection, and manipulation so much more efficient than more standard methods. It can be used to create “for” loops, variables… it makes a web developer’s life much easier than if they had to just use html/DOM/vanilla javascript.

jQuery can target either html (DOM), or the content within it. Each of them do have certain peculiarities in how items are targeted and returned, and the list of methods and ways to target the document is lengthy; hence the cheat sheets and many helps that are available and currently necessary for me. And so much practice in order to figure out it all acts.
