I am totally new to JavaScript, but I want to implement Ajax features into my website. Which JS framework should I learn? Please recommend or which one you are using and why you use it?

Answer 1

jQuery is currently extremely popular, so you're probably going to have the most luck finding recent tutorials/plugins/etc for it, as opposed to one of the other frameworks. That's probably a fairly good selling-point from the perspective of someone new to this.
