jQuery is a JavaScript library which allows you to develop solutions with less code, in less time. You can build interactive prototypes for your prospective clients, or take an existing solution and add new dynamic behaviour with little effort.

The aim: to produce lean unobtrusive JavaScript with jQuery.
