i appreciate the author's effort but don't feel like i have a better handle on the applicability of each framework to real projects (like many similar articles). basically, this article lists some good and bad features of each framework with some light commentary about a few of those features, which means it doesn't really help you answer the question implied by the title ("which js framework should you choose?").
i think it might be better to use a non-trivial example and show side-by-side implementations for 10 or so important aspects (routing, templating, data binding, etc.), with commentary on what kinds of projects would benefit the most from each frameworks' approach to each aspect. since airpair is about selling programming expertise, this would demonstrate actual expertise that would be attractive to prospective customers (vs. the ability to talk about programming, which is easier).
- morty16 12y agoThere's a recent release by O'Reilly called "Choosing a Javascript Framework" (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781939902085.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781939902085.do) that you might want to look at. It covers the same frameworks (Angular, Backbone, Ember) and also mentions Polymer and React. ~20$ for the early access version.
- clairity 12y agonice! seems a bit pricey for a rough draft ebook though. but i do like that it includes polymer and react, which i know little about. what i find interesting with these frameworks is that they're all moving the templating engine (something like coldfusion from 15 years ago, ha!) to the frontend... part of the ebb and flow of server vs client side computing i guess.
