Overview of Javascript tools and frameworks

I prepared overview of possible JavaScript tools and framework that can be used to build modern web application. Most of them are used to build Czas na Rower frontend. Mentioned project uses GruntJS for tasks management, JSHint for code linting Mocha and SinonJS for unit testing, RequireJS for module loading, jQuery, Bootstrap, Flight and Backone.js for JavaScript code development. You can see more on project site on GitHub.

  • Effects
  • DOM manipulation
  • Mouse interaction and UI extensions
