Need to learn JavaScript?
jQuery is a JavaScript framework, so if you don't already know about the JavaScript programming language, we recommend that you learn it now:

Introduction:
A jQuery editor
Tout comme HTML, CSS ou encore JavaScript habituel, vous pouvez écrire jQuery dans n'importe quel éditeur, même avec le Notepad Windows. Cependant, utiliser un simple éditeur de texte comme Notepad pour créer des pages web est comme utiliser un tournevis pour percer des trous dans un morceau de bois: ça marche, mais ça prends beaucoup plus de temps et beaucoup moins plaisant.
Si vous avez déjà un éditeur HTML qui vous permet de travailler facilement avec JavaScript, alors il sera probablement aussi adapté pour écrire du jQuery, mais ils existe des éditeurs qui traiterons jQuery comme un individu de premier ordre, et qui vous aideront à l'écrire plus vite et plus efficacement.
I personally use TSW WebCoder, which has a bunch of awesome IntelliSense features to aid you, covering all the technologies you need: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and of course jQuery. Having a list of possible properties, methods and their parameters is a huge help, especially when you're brand new to jQuery. If your current editor already does all of this, and you feel comfortable with it, then by all means stick to it - if not, then consider giving WebCoder a try.
