My project is using jQuery right now but I don't know how scalable it will be long term. Are large volumes of users a concern with jQ? - - - - - - - - -

Forgive my elementary level question. I'm not a programmer, I'm just trying to learn about what my contracted coder is doing.

No. I mean to say, jQuery is good at DOM manipulation but a large Javascript Application involves alot than just DOM manipulation.

So is it better to write naked javascript or use any other framework?

I read some where people using YUI, Dojo Toolkit, etc.

Naked Javascript can exist alongside jQuery, and jQuery can exist alongside other frameworks as well, so if there is something that jQuery will make easier, use it. If there are things that plan Javascript can do just fine, use that. Choose the best tools for the job, I say.
