Just to add a bit to this...I recently was forced to write in "pure
javascript" rather than jQuery for the first time in a while, and it was a
very good exercise in getting back to basics. So I would also recommend
learning some of the basics of javascript at least in tandem with learning
jQuery.

Yes, in the end jQuery is nothing else than JavaScript - although a
very excellent piece ;-)

Mark,
You should really get a grasp of how JavaScript works so that you can be
a more effective client-side developer. jQuery makes things easier but
you still should know how to handle, at the very least, the basic
constructs of the JavaScript language. It will help in understanding why
certain things occur.
