JQuery Core is organized in the wrong order

[namel]

Hi

I've been learning jquery through the "JQuery Core" pages. It's great,
but it teaches things in the wrong order.

Pages "selecting elements", and "working with selections"
should be the first pages.
Then, pages like "$ vs. $()" and $(document).ready() which are the first two pages (!), should appear much later - since the reader has no idea what those things mean yet... at least I didn't.

Basically - the first 4 pages should be moved to the end in the sequence.

Also, the first page should probably be a "getting started page" which
shows the basic abilities. Maybe a repeat of "How JQuery Works" page from the intro.

You can't "select elements" or "work with selections" if you don't know about the $ object or the document ready state.

But, I agree with you in a some way. If you're new to jQuery, you must first know what you will be able to do, and then start digging into things like events (.ready()) and differences between $ and $(). Not fun to learn stuff if you don't know what you'll end up with.

We maybe need to order those 2 pages later, and integrate a quick intro to those in 'selecting elements'. Thoughts?

Sounds perfect.
