I don't understand what the codes mean

I don't think these codes are covered in the Javascript or jQuery courses. They are completely new to me. But I don't understand well. Is there any resource that I can refer to? Thanks

For jQuery you can check http://api.jquery.com/ which contains references and instructions for all jQuery functions.

For JavaScript you can check http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp. You'll find there anything JS related you might want to learn.

Thanks Robert!

The JavaScript courses on Treehouse have had many people feeling lost and frustrated. I recommend checking out Jon Duckett's book "Javascript and jQuery" for a really simple and in-depth and slick resource for helping learn JavaScript.

Yes, I just picked this up, it's excellent, a decent price and has a lot more resources on their website to support the book (and resolve some code examples in the book - it is the 1st edition). I recommend this too.
