JQuery is great for some frontend glue, but I'd try to learn some of the new frameworks. I tried my hand at React, it's doable, and I like it for a prototype, but I'm going to try Vue.js next because it's supposed to be much easier. Angular is supposed to be easier for people coming from the backend. In any case, frontend development is very frustrating (at least for me), a lot work for little gains sometimes.
