Introduction

Hey dev community! đź‘‹ I'm excited to share my journey of learning jQuery and building my first practical project - a Todo List application. As someone diving into front-end development, I wanted to understand how jQuery simplifies DOM manipulation and event handling.

What I Built

I created a Todo List application that includes:

  • Add/Delete todo items
  • Mark tasks as complete
  • Local storage functionality
  • Simple and clean UI

What I Learned

Through this project, I gained hands-on experience with:

  • jQuery selectors and DOM manipulation
  • Event handling with jQuery
  • Working with localStorage
  • Dynamic content updates
  • Basic animations and transitions

Key Takeaways

  1. jQuery really does make JavaScript easier! The syntax is more concise and intuitive.
  2. The jQuery documentation is incredibly helpful for beginners.
  3. Building a real project is the best way to learn new technologies.

Next Steps

I'm planning to add more features like:

  • Task categories
  • Due dates
  • Priority levels
  • Filter options
