Should I take jQuery course before going to the next stage?

I'm not sure what course and/or track you are following, but jQuery is essentially "its own thing". So I think you can take it at any time, but before starting a course that relies on it in the examples. But any such course should mention it as a prerequisite.

Unless the AJAX course uses jQuery in the example code (and the instructor should have said so if it does), I wouldn't think you'd need to take jQuery first .

Well, I’m following JavaScript full stack track and I reached AJAX basic concepts. jQuery was mentioned in a previous course as a suggestion to take after I finished DOM, was not prerequisite. What is your advice? I’m in AJAX basics, Should I stop for taking jQuery first? It will be beneficial in Ajax or no ?
