  <p>I am about to start learning JavaScript. However one friend suggested me to go in for jQuery instead since he says future is jQuery. I heard that jQuery is created from JavaScript.</p>
  
  <p>In short, give me one simple reason why developers like me should invest in JavaScript. What is its future?</p>
