jQuery Fundamentals

1. What is something you learned that was particularly surprising/interesting?

   It was interesting to learn that $() is shorthand for calling jQuery.
   I also enjoyed seeing how JS and jQuery work together by selecting things and setting them to a variable. The .filter and .not functions are new and interesting

2. What was something you already knew?

   We learned some of the selecting and traversing methods in the last mod; child, parent, etc. We were also introduced to some of the altering elements methods. Some introduction to event listeners

3. Was there anything you feel you still don't understand?

   I still don't understand what .blur() and .focus() are and why you would use them. I'm also fuzzy on triggering events that are namespaced and how to do that. Event bubbling and why you would prevent default The majority of the ajax section was pretty dense and I'm not feeling good about it.
