Talk:JQuery

message: I propose removing "alfa" releases from the list of releases.  Any objections?  Rationale: alpha releases are, almost by definition, unstable, short-lived, poorly documented, and are narrowly used by developers mostly for testing purposes.  And we don't want anyone, especially a non-English person or someone unfamiliar with staged alpha and beta releases, thinking the latest release is 1.4a2, for example.

message: The reason I'm asking is that in the source code that handles selections (sizzle) in the copyright notice it says Dojo foundation (http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/jquery/src/selector.js) and Dojo is another js library. The question is how much else of the jquery library builds upon others?
And shouldn't this be mentioned in wiki?

message: I checked the main JQuery website today, and they give you the choice of MIT license or GPL license.
The page should be updated to reflect this supposed "dual-license".  The page says and and it should be or.
Please review @ http://jquery.org/license

message: Is this article too technical? I came to this page as a moderately technical software-tester who is likely to be testing JQuery functionality in the near future. I was looking for an overview, not a technical analysis. I'm non the wiser as to what the characteristics, capabilities and unique qualities of the language are.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.0.39 (talk) 10:23, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Is jQuery Mobile notable enough to merit it's own article, or should it be included as a section in either this or jQuery UI?  It's still in development, so there may not be sufficient info for a full article yet.

message: In the section named QUnit, QUnit is linked to a QUnit article, which however, ends up in the same page, same section. Shouldn't it be normal text?

message: While the plans of jQuery around MS browsers is an interesting and controversial topic, which is currently not covered in the article, it is inappropriate to list some details for a personal investigation in the introductory "features list". The challenge at hand is far from being one dimensional, and jQuery is as "cross-browser" as one can reasonably imagine. Therefore, while I acknowledge that the topic of jQuery and MS browsers versions IE 6-8 is interesting and relevant, author's approach in this edit is not. I will revert this edit a second time therefore. If we chose to cover the topic, it should become its own section, touch on the various contentious topics, and link to the existing pages in Wikipedia that represent the points of views.

message: Thoroughly ridiculous to tick off a list of alleged "advantages" without a single disadvantage (of which there are many) listed. This much-needed adjustment requires thoughtful discussion, not a knee-jerk reaction from some random "democratic rock guitarist". Thanks.

message: For the end user the minified size is less important than the gzipped minified one as this is what's transfered over the wire (we, the jQuery team always try to minify the gzipped minified size, not just minified one). Perhaps it would be more useful to change the size column to reflect that? m_gol (talk) 19:16, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

message: jQuery is one of the most notable Javascript libraries out there, used by countless professional organizations; there are a large number of books devoted to jQuery published by many reliable publishers. I will only list five:
* jQuery Cookbook Solutions & Examples for jQuery Developers By Cody Lindley Publisher: O'Reilly Media
* Head First jQuery By Ryan Benedetti, Ronan Cranley Publisher: O'Reilly Media
* Learning from jQuery Building on Core Skills By Callum Macrae Publisher: O'Reilly Media
* JavaScript & jQuery: The Missing Manual, 3rd Edition The book that should have been in the box. By David Sawyer McFarland Publisher: O'Reilly Media
* JavaScript and JQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development 1st Edition by Jon Duckett (Author) #1 Best Seller (as of 2016-09-16) in JavaScript Programming at Amazon; Publisher: Wiley
The reason why four of the books I list are published by O'Reilly Media is because they are the gold standard for computer programming books; I am also including a book published by John Wiley & Sons which is currently Amazon’s number one selling book in the JavaScript category.
For the record, I have no relationship to jQuery except as a user. Samboy (talk) 11:45, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...
=== Collaboration...===
If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.
 
=== Where to list JavaScript articles ===
We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list. 
=== User scripts ===
The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!
If you have need for a user script that does not 
yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.
=== How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention ===
If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.
=== Rating JavaScript articles ===
At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article.  Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.
Thank you. The Transhumanist 01:09, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
