Acquire jQuery

Official jQuery web site (http://jquery.com/) is the most reliable and up-to-date resource for code of jQuery the library. To get started you will need a copy of jQuery, which can be downloaded from the www.jquery.com.

No installation is required. To use the jQuery, we just need to put it on our site in a web-accessible location. As whenever we need a page to have and use the jQuery available, we will simply refer to the location of file from the HTML document with a tag <script> as follows:

<script src="path-to-jquery-file/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Note: JavaScript is an interpreted language, there is no compilation or build phase to concern about.
