We discuss jQuery versus vanilla JavaScript, when you should use it, and why it's important and needed. We also talk about our first (real) project, the memory match game.

jQuery is a well known fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things easier such as: 

•  HTML DOM manipulation
• event handling and animation
• Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.

However you shouldn't be using or depending on jQuery until you are familiar with vanilla JavaScript because it is a library.

Memory Match Project
Andrew and Jason's first project was the Guessing Game, but since that isn't as complex, they both feel it is not a good project to place on a resume for employment. The Memory Match on the other hand uses features from jQuery as well as asynchronous calls and when built properly, can be a great portfolio showcase!
