Is it better to learn the DOM or jQuery first?
<p>I have gotten very familiar with the core functionality of Javascript and now I am aiming at learning DOM manipulation. I have already thought of learning jQeury for this but I don't know if it is good idea to learning it before first getting familiar with the core functionality of the DOM.</p>

<p>Should I first learn the core functionality of the DOM and then learn jQuery? If so, why? Or should I just go on ahead and learn jQuery?</p>
