jQuery is built on top of JavaScript, a rich and expressive language in its own
right. This section covers the basic concepts of JavaScript, as well as some
frequent pitfalls for people who have not used JavaScript before. While it will
be of particular value to people with no programming experience, even people
who have used other programming languages may benefit from learning about some
of the peculiarities of JavaScript.
jQuery is built on top of JavaScript, a rich and expressive language in its own right. This means when using jQuery, we are still writing valid JavaScript; it just serves as a framework to make many aspects of writing JavaScript easier and more reliable in the various browser environments.

While it will be of particular value to people with little to no programming experience, even people who have used other programming languages may benefit from learning about some of the peculiarities of JavaScript.
