How jQuery Helps in Developing a Custom Software

Posted by PriyankPanchal on March 21st, 2015

The jQuery JavaScript library is now among the most used open source software (also called OSS) tools for custom software and web developers. It was released in 2006 to let developers create custom user interactions using less code. With jQuery, developers are able to create dynamic websites with HTML client-side scripting across multiple browsers and CSS manipulation. This multi-browser capability allows web and custom software developers to manipulate DOM (Document Object Model) elements, add effects and animation to websites, and implement other innovative techniques.

A good custom app and web developer can use jQuery on different applications, from government to commercial. jQuery is also especially useful in educational applications and e-learning as it can be used to allow students to take down notes, complete their coursework, and receive tutoring online. Animations and effects do not only facilitate problem-solving—they also make it easy for students and educators to interact with each other.

jQuery offers more than just a large library of functions. It is backed by a large, open source community of developers working to maintain the functionality of the library as well as the security and efficiency of the code. Plugins are ready for downloading for use in development.

Widely used in custom or bespoke applications, jQuery can bring any app to life while allowing developers to maintain a sleek and professional design. Used correctly, it gives users a more pleasant and seamless experience with click, hover, and smooth transitioning capabilities from one item to another. Many bespoke app and software developers use the jQuery JavaScript library to give their customers unique and user friendly designs that don’t disturb the content’s flow or site traffic.

Choosing a jQuery Developer

To know more about jQuery, visit the jQuery website where you will find in-depth information and a host of useful examples, tutorials, and documentation. If you are interested in using jQuery for your bespoke app or software, talk to a developer that is well versed in this technology. 

Some of the best custom developers in the UK also use other technologies aside from jQuery, including Java, PHP, .NET, android, iOS, mySQL, SQL Server, ASP.NET, JSP, Derby, etc. Their teams are made of multi-skilled employees. They won’t force you to into a specific technology, but rather use the most suitable technology based on your needs and your existing infrastructure. The best bespoke software developers in the UK also offer 24/7 support and maintenance for every one of their projects.
