Lea Verou posted an article back in April titled "jQuery considered harmful" http://lea.verou.me/2015/04/jquery-considered-harmful/ http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ (great article to show you what you can do instead of jQuery) http://blog.garstasio.com/you-dont-need-jquery/ http://www.sitepoint.com/do-you-really-need-jquery/ http://tutorialzine.com/2014/06/10-tips-for-writing-javascript-without-jquery/ Paul Irish released bling.js https://gist.github.com/paulirish/12fb951a8b893a454b32 So what does it all mean? jQuery is not dead, it is still quite useful, but there are alternatives if you just want to do a little bit. Plain old javascript isn’t that hard and it certainly is getting easier.
