    Hi Just wondering which libraries do what.

    I know angular is good for front end and processing information but what are other libraries such as backbone or node used for?

    Which would be the most common ones in current development companies?

    Thanks

    The most popular front-end frameworks & libraries are probably (in no particular order):
    • JQuery - easy & lots of extras available
    • Angular - flavour of the month
    • Dojo - complete, kitchen-sink, does everything in one package
    • Bootstrap - excellent for responsive apps

    The most popular back-end frameworks are:
    • backbone - uses models to trigger updates on views
    • dojo - an entire environment, including server functions
      + a gazillion extensions to do just about anything on npmjs.org

    The most popular new stack is MEAN (Mongo, Express, Angular, Node) and there's even a site - mean.io

    Sencha's ExtJS is decent. Not what you would use on a website but excellent for a web app. Lots of components, Grids, charts, layouts etc..

    I've been using meteor.js lately, does anyone have any experience with it?
