jQuery

jQuery is an open source JavaScript library that speeds up the web development process. Faster web development processes can be accomplished because the library provides a variety of predefined functions, which means that the development time for creating custom functions in raw JavaScript is shortened.

jQuery is designed so that it's easier to navigate through a document, create animations, select DOM elements, handle events and develop Ajax applications. It also gives developers the possibility to create plug-ins on top of the JavaScript library, and also to create abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, themeable widgets and advanced effects.

Advantages

It simplifies event handling
It simplifies HTML doc traversing
It facilitates Ajax interactions and animation
It has a comprehensive library, and its functions can cover almost all development needs
It has a strong community backing, with a large number of jQuery plug-ins readily available
jQuery is very well documented and it has an abundance of tutorial materials available
It is lightweight, compared with other JavaScript frameworks

Disadvantages

It depends on the jQuery JavaScript file, which increases page load time
If it's used in large applications, it will be a bit more difficult to keep the code organized
If scripts interfere with each other, it can be difficult to debug

Development tools

Visual Studio
Eclipse
Text editors (such as Sublime Text or Notepad++)
