jQuery - What is it & How to get started

(Honestly who would rather do more work when they can do less and achieve the same result) The key features of jQuery are its ability to utilize CSS Selectors, and chaining which essentially means when you call a function on an object jQuery always returns that object back to you. Oh and did we mention it also handles cross browser compatibility issues for you?
