I've been learning a lot, fast, by trying to build out the same (very simple) full-stack web application in using different frameworks. Different backends, different frontends and different databases. Admittedly, I've been doing this for slightly more than one week. It's been a lot of fun, I must admit. It's interesting to see the different quality levels in documentation, availability of help on StackOverflow, and tooling. I'm not approaching it with any real goal other than to see how some other frameworks work but it feels very worthwhile.

Interesting, which has had the best docs so far? I often feel that the docs make the language, and it's not a thing that many folks talk about.

  The rails docs are excellent, actually! I was surprised at how bad the node.js docs were, but the documentation for express.js is good enough that I didn't find myself referencing the node docs a whole lot. C# and .NET have been pretty easy to develop in, but the documentation was very poor I thought. Maybe I just didn't find it, but it lacked a good example walkthrough like you get with Rails.
