I love JavaScript and the complexity of what you can do to make your website more interactive and dynamic. Ajax was a big turning point for me which help make most of my php code work smoothly without loading the browser page. I was ecstatic when I first realized the power of javascript working together with a server side language like PHP.

jQuery
So as I would like to start off with the first JavaScript framework and probably the most popular one. jQuery is probably the most easy framework to start using. My favorite content management system WordPress is using jquery to make things in the admin more dynamic.
Knockout
“Knockout is a JavaScript library that helps you to create rich, responsive display and editor user interfaces with a clean underlying data model. Any time you have sections of UI that update dynamically (e.g., changing depending on the user’s actions or when an external data source changes), KO can help you implement it more simply and maintainably.”

ExtJS
“Ext JS 4 brings a whole new way to build client applications, by introducing the popular model-view-controller pattern to Ext JS. By allowing the separation of data management, logic and interface elements, Ext JS 4 makes it easier for even large development teams to work independently without worrying about stepping on each other’s toes. Ext JS 4 ships with a helpful MVC guide to get started.”

Angular
“Angular supports the entire development process, provides structure for your web apps, and works with the best JS libraries. With angular, the view and data model are always in sync — there is no need for manual DOM manipulation.
Angular is small, weighing in at 60kb, is compatible with all modern browsers and works great with jQuery.”

Agility
“Agility.js is an MVC library for Javascript that lets you write maintainable and reusable browser code without the verbose or infrastructural overhead found in other MVC libraries. The goal is to enable developers to write web apps at least as quickly as with jQuery, while simplifying long-term maintainability through MVC objects.”

Choco
“Choco brings the MVC to the client side! A Choco app consists of only one HTML page, all the interactions are managed by Javascript. Your UI only uses HTML and CSS!”
