This document summarizes the expectations and content for a three-part beginner track on jQuery. The first part will explore jQuery's history, introduce the core team, explain how jQuery works, and how to include jQuery on a webpage. jQuery is introduced as a lightweight JavaScript library that provides easy and fast HTML DOM selection across modern browsers. The benefits of jQuery are its documentation, thriving community support, and ability to select elements using CSS-style selectors.
