So after fucking around on Codecademy whenever I'm bored for a while I've decided to stop playing games and dive head first into learning Javascript. I want to get into the libraries some more but I don't know where to start. Theres so many that I don't even know where to begin, even just the ones google mirrors
https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/
Then there are others like Modrnzr. Which are good, which should be avoided? What are even the uses of the massive libraries like YUI and Googles Closure libraries?
I've already started learning jQuery as that seems to be the most widely used. I'm starting with simple greasemonkey scripts to make doing my job involving data entry more pleasant and easier. However I have plans to build a web application + mobile app over the course of the next year in my spare time. I'm not worried about the mobile end or the design of the front end of the web app but I know very little about the functionality back end of a web app so I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
