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
Assim como HTML, CSS e até o JavaScript comum, você pode usar qualquer editor para escrever seu código jQuery, até mesmo o Bloco de Notas do Windows. Contudo, usar um editor de texto simples como o Bloco de Notas para criar páginas na internet é como usar uma chave de fenda para fazer furos em um pedaço de madeira: funciona, mas demora muito mais e é bem menos prazeroso.
Se você já tem um editor HTML que permita você trabalhar com Javascript, então provavelmente o mesmo também servirá para trabalhar com JQuery. Entretanto existem alguns editores que possuem recursos nativos para JQuery, que oferecem ajuda instantânea para você codificar e ser mais eficiente.
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.
