Which jQuery introductory course should one start with?

It seems to me there are now two jQuery introductory courses. The more the merrier of course, but which one is best to start with? Introduction to jQuery by Aisha Blake , or jQuery Basics by Andrew Chalkley ??

Hey Bashar,

Although I haven't run through "Introduction to jQuery" (the Aisha version), looking over the sections I'd suggest starting with that one first.

Andrew is awesome and his version definitely has value and is worth going over once you're done with Aisha's course, but his course is more focused on building projects while Aisha seems to be focusing on explaining all of the moving parts more.

Knowing how something works under the hood will make it a lot easier to pick up the nuances of why something is being done inside of a project, which isn't always clear.

Good luck with the courses!
