It's true, a lot of folks are moving away from jQuery. I used it every day for many years - maybe even had some affection for it - but these days, there are legitimate problems with it. For example, jQuery has its own proprietary events system which doesn't work with the real events built into modern browsers. It seems like a small thing, but it means the writing is on the wall.
The library I moved to is called Stimulus. It's a lot more like jQuery than React and a lot of the other libraries you hear about. Check it out! You might like what you see.
Good luck with your program and don't be shy. I'm happy to answer questions if you're stuck.
Thank you for the comment. I am trying to learn as much as I can. Technology changes so quickly that it can sometimes feel overwhelming to understand it all. But I appreciate the even obsolete technology still has it utilization in the world.
You're not wrong, and it's a good attitude to have. Frankly, it's all overwhelming even if you've been at it a long time. The key is to enjoy the exploration. :)
Anyhow, the two most critical aspects of learning any technology are 1. have practical problem or project that you're motivated to solve and 2. have a community with mentors who don't mind questions or code review.
Number 2 is why I reached out. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for reaching out to me. I am still in my early stages so my projects have not really taken off yet but I look forward to the future and glad that I have someone I can use to help when those days arrive!
