{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Move away from jQuery in favour vanilla JS?","articleBody":"What are people's thoughts on moving away from the jQuery tutorials in favour of \"vanilla\" JS equivalents (e.g. things like `document.querySelector`)? This is for the usual reasons (jQuery is being used less and less, vanilla js/browser APIs are great for ~99% of what we'd want to do with jQuery, unnecessary bulk...) and because so many students end up using libraries/frameworks like React which still benefit from vanilla JS knowledge, but don't really benefit at all from jQuery knowledge.\r\n\r\nDisclaimer: I've never really had to learn jQuery, and my main experience of it is converting jQuery code examples into vanilla (there are several useful resources for this :) )\r\n\r\nI'd happily have a go at this, but can't guarantee the timeliness. Also I haven't checked how extensively jQuery is used/referred to after the jQuery-specific tutorials.\r\n\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/VirtualDOMinic","@type":"Person","name":"VirtualDOMinic"},"datePublished":"2019-09-05T16:28:30.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/445/tutorials/issues/445"}
