Hello guys. I have worked a very long time now and I master PHP and SQL very good now. Well I have though alot of doing cool effects on my sites and first language popped up in my head and it was JQuery. I have no idea how hard it is but compared to PHP which is harder and how much harder. Is there any other programming language that is relative easy compared to PHP that I should learn better except PHP, SQL, CSS and HTML?

Thanks in advance :)

Yep start learning JavaScript -> pretty powerful and relatively easy to grasp if you already have general programming knowledge and know OOP fundamentals.
 
jQuery is mainly used to manipulate the DOM. It's quite easy to grasp if you have solid knowledge of HTML and CSS since it uses css selectors like $("#div").click(function {});

I hope you get the idea

Everything is easy compared to PHP. :D

On a serious note: It depends on your goals, Javascript is nice for web developing but if you are into app creating for let's say Android then go with Java.
If you want to develop for iOS then Objective C.

jQuery can be useful too.
 
I would go with Javascript then, it's really useful. :)
 
Wait, you have it all wrong.

jQuery is a framework built in JavaScript for DOM manipulations.
To do all the 'cool effects', you must first learn JavaScript and then referring jQuery documentation.

No, you must NOT first learn JavaScript to do DOM manipulation with jQuery.

JavaScript is useful to know, and it's pretty much everywhere in some form or in another (it all started up many years ago with its ancestror called EcmaScript and it was running on Netscape Navigator).
jQuery runs on top of it and it makes it more or less messy :P but it's useful to not have to worry about many stuff.
 
I'd agree with most answers posted here. In the past it was more dificult to manipulate the DOM using javascript, thats why jQuery gained popularity. But today most of the dom manipulation functions of jQuery have been ported to javascript. Nevertheless, many great js libraries have jQuery as a dependancy so it's not a completly waste of time. Also, browser events such as click events, keyPressed are made easier with jQuery. Learning javascript and jQuery to the fullest is really hard. It has many quirks and non intuitive things such as variable scope and prototyping for OOP. Lots of patience my friend
 
JQuery is only library, I think you should go with AngularJS or smt similar - it's very perspective

You can jump in an play around with javascript easier as all you really need is a browser.
However, if you have truly "mastered" php and sql, you would not be asking this question.
Implement a little javascript into your php projects, but you likely still have a long way to go with learning php still.
