Why Learn jQuery?

With HTML and CSS, you can build visually appealing static web pages. With just a bit of JavaScript, however, you can add dynamic behavior to these static websites. jQuery is a JavaScript library that provides you with a lot of dynamic behavior "out-of-the-box", allowing you to add some creative effects to otherwise dull layouts.
