The Windows Library for JavaScript (WinJS) and Visual Studio templates for Windows Store apps give developers great flexibility when using third-party JavaScript libraries, including the popular jQuery. Many modern web developers use jQuery for quick, easy, and powerful DOM access and manipulation.
As we announced in April, you can use jQuery release 2.0 in a Windows Store app without getting errors related to the JavaScript runtime or dynamic content. In this post, I’ll show how you can apply jQuery to your Windows Store app. In addition, I’ll also look at some areas where WinJS provides compelling alternatives to specific jQuery APIs.
(If you want a refresher on the jQuery APIs, take a look at the jQuery documentation. You might also take a minute to remind yourself about how to use CSS selectors.)
