Over the past month I've been digging deeper into jQuery. Javascript was previously uncharted waters for me, but after reading Nick La's stellar introduction to jQuery the language didn't seem so intimidating. jQuery's main advantage as a Javascript library is how well it fits in with HTML and CSS. Looking at the code, it's all basically HTML elements and CSS attributes - very inviting.
