The jQuery UI library includes Java Script UI widgets and interactive helpers built on top. The jQuery UI is an extension to the jQuery library.  

Following the complexity involoved with developing in Java Script, during the last years new Java Script libraries have emerged. Most of them are free. The jQuery library is one of them. You can download the jQuery library for free at http://www.jquery.com/ and start effectively using it in no time. The jQuery library is a collection of widgets we can use in our web applications development. These components include engaging widgets and interaction helpers. Using jQuery you can dramatically reduce the amount of code and the amount of development time. Each widget comes with a wide range of easy to use configurable properties and methods. The available UI widgets you can easily use in your code includes (among other) Tabs, Accordion, Dialog, Slider, Date Picker, Drag & Drop and Resizing. The learning curve of using the jQuery library is amazingly fast. The widely support this library receives turns it into one of the most popular Java Script libraries if not the most (e.g. microsoft's visual studio already includes it). This course offers a practical approach involved with practical examples and intensive lab assignments.  

Java Script is one of the most popular scripting language on the web. The support for executing Java Script code exists (full or partial) in all major web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. 

The Java Script programming language is a scripting language we use to develop scripts running in the web browser. Java Script was invented during the 90's as a scripting language supported by the Netscape Navigator browser. At a later stage it was adopted by Microsoft and was renamed as JScript. Though there are some similarities between Java and JavaScript the two programming languages are different in their nature. While the Java programming language requires us to compile our code before we execute it, when writing a Java Script code there is no need to compile it. The Java Script code is interpreted by the browser running environment. During the years two variations of Java Script (JScript on the one hand and Java Script on the other) have evolved differently. The ECMA Script is a formal specification that defines the core part of the language and refers to syntax, types, statements, keywords, reserved words, operators and objects only. Given the various differences we find when comparing different web browsers' support for Java Script, coding in Java Script might become a complex task that involves with checking the exact browser on which the script is running. This complexity has led during the last years to the evolvement of various Java Script libraries we can freely use on our end.
