The Complete jQuery Course: From Beginner To Advanced! (Udemy.com)

Use jQuery to create stunning animations, provide fast feedback forms, handle all user events and perform Ajax calls.

Created by: Joe Parys

Last updated June 2018

Our take

Based on the ratings of 9,433 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in June 2018. No course pays to be reviewed.

A six-hour tour of jQuery from Joe Parys's academy, with co-instructor Peter Sommerhoff doing the teaching. The 51 lectures walk through effects and animations, selectors, DOM manipulation, mouse and keyboard events, forms, and a final section on Ajax calls to the Flickr and TheMovieDB APIs. It is labelled all levels, but the requirements list asks for basic JavaScript, HTML and CSS, and one two-star reviewer says that is the real entry bar. Across 9,400 reviews the 4.5 average holds up, with four and five stars making up the large majority.

Students praise Sommerhoff's clear, step-by-step explanations and the mini-challenges scattered through the lectures. Two reviewers say they coded along and then built something small on their own afterward, one a shopping list app, the other a fix for a problem at work. The complaints are consistent. The Q&A board has been unanswered for years, and one reviewer calls the course totally unsupported. Ajax gets only five lectures, and people who use $.ajax daily wanted more. Two three-star reviewers find the pace slow and the selector walkthrough dry, one saying the material could fit in three hours. And the last update was June 2018.

Nothing in the reviews says the 2018 material is out of date, but don't expect help from the instructors if things break. The crash course listed beside it promises the essentials in less time; this one spends six hours going end to end, with full sections on forms and Ajax. People who already know some JavaScript and want jQuery covered end to end at a gentle pace will do fine here. Anyone after depth on Ajax or a quick overview should look at the crash course beside it instead.

Best forPeople who already know basic JavaScript and want every jQuery feature walked through at a gentle pace.
Skip it ifYou want Ajax in depth, need instructor support, or would rather get the essentials in a much shorter crash course.

Pros

  • Peter Sommerhoff's clear, step-by-step explanations get praised across the four- and five-star reviews
  • Mini-challenges in most lectures, and reviewers report building a small app or fixing a work problem afterward
  • Covers form validation and Ajax against real APIs (Flickr, TheMovieDB), not just animations
  • Captions in nine languages plus GitHub resources; one reviewer praises the reference materials

Cons

  • Q&A has gone unanswered for years, so there is no help when code breaks
  • Ajax gets only five lectures; reviewers who use $.ajax daily wanted more
  • Last updated June 2018 and slowly paced; one reviewer says it could fit in three hours
Peter is a good and competent tutor, I could comprehend the entire subject clearly by his explicit and concise explanations.
Selen Şar, a student

Listed as all levels, but it assumes basic JavaScript, HTML and CSS; a two-star reviewer found it too advanced for true beginners.

Awesome beginner to advanced jQuery course. You learn a lot of things and the instructor explains them correctly and beautifully, first he goes deeper into theory and then into practice with nice challenges and explanations. It's worth watching!

By Steph Mole on 1/4/2022

I started learning html, css and javascript three months ago and wanted to learn jquery to help me code a basic shopping list app. I'm a visual and practical learner and was struggling to understand some of the concepts through reading alone. I found the course really helpful as it explains the basics and then builds on that foundation. It's easy to code along with the videos and I found that by the end, I had a much better understanding of jquery. I was able to build the (very basic) shopping list app and refer back to the videos when I needed to. Overall, I found the course very helpful - thanks Max!

By Robert Garza on 6/30/2020

I took this course to learn how to solve a specific problem at work. I solved the problem at work as a direct result of the knowledge in this course. The instructor has not answered a student question in about 3 years and did not answer my question. Still a good course though.

By Selen Şar on 6/10/2019

It'd be better to get help from Q&A's. The tutors have clearly not been answering the questions for at least 9 months. However, Peter is a good and competent tutor, I could comprehend the entire subject clearly by his explicit and concise explanations. Thanks you.

By Cameron Cardow on 6/4/2018

Good basic course. Just one small thing I would change and that is instead of always outputting to the console, it would be nice to see it in real-world application - that is, appending content inside selectors or changing the DOM. Real world application would include populating list-items that might pull data from an API as in your AJAX section. Basic perhaps, but way more useful than console.log.

By Maneesh Parihar on 12/8/2017

It was a great course overall. Concepts were well explained; though a few more real world situations and how to better design web sites with this knowledge would have been a lot more helpful. Also using the parameters which are passed on to anonymous functions could be better explained. I will have to refer to some more resources to get that concept well settled to be able to think on my own and have a good grasp. Thanks for this wonderful course.

By Cosmic Sound on 5/20/2017

Very easy to follow. Simple examples and simple presentation; I never realized jQuery was so easy to pick up! Thanks Peter and Joe! Would love to take the jQuery UI course too, in case you guys are offering that as well... Cheers!

By Cody Rourick on 2/18/2017

Awesome course, really dives deep into JQuery and Peter explains the concepts in a concise manner. Peter has also responded to every question I've asked and provided additional reading content for me to look over to help me understand some more specific points. 5 Stars for sure.

By Joe Burns on 9/11/2016

Excellent course, thanks much Peter for the clear, very understandable instruction. Course was well thought out, and Peter has such a humble way about himself that makes a student feel valued. It's going to be hard to find a course that's better than this one. Thanks again Peter.

By Mark C. on 7/4/2016

Clear, concise lectures from Peter. Each lesson is well structured on a specific topic area. Each lesson builds on your knowledge, which concludes in a project at the end of each section. The final project was a pretty neat RESTful API Pokedex.
