jQuery is a JavaScript library meant to aid the software developer in rapid web development. It has the benefit of being cross-platform, helping the programmer in making sure that applications work in any browser.

He also reviews the upcoming jQuery Mobile, a similar tool that will help in cross-platform development among mobile devices.
