jQuery is javascript code. It run on user's browser, when the user load
the web page.

jQuery is no different than other javascript. If you can write
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("Hello World");
</script>
and successfully got the alert dialog box, then you can code in jQuery.

Do you have a real problem to solved using javascript? I found the
easier way to learn something is when I have real world case that I
want/need to solved.
Here is one of interesting use of jQuery (it's featured on the jquery
website)
Hide an paragraph, when a user click a link, show that paragraph.
Try to figure a way to do it, then look for jQuery feature to solve that.
Happy learning :)
