I want to share my experience since I'm using Backbone. I got hired back in June 2013 as a frontend dev. During the interview, they threw questions to me about JQuery, Javascript and CSS. When I started working on their(our) existing application, I was like, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CODE! LOL! They were using coffeescript and backbone on a ruby development setup. I have zero knowledge on coffeescript and backbone. To cut the story short, it took me 4+ months before I became comfortable. It was a pain in the ass, real pain! One of the things I like in Backbone is the collection. There are still things that confuses me even upto now like calling multiple templates inside a single object that gets rendered based on what tab on modal you choose. I really hate this part. I also hate that we're doing so many DOM manipulations using JQuery.
I started my AngularJS journey about 3 weeks ago. I've been watching egghead youtube videos a lot as well as reading example plunkrs! As of today, I feel very comfortable with it. I was able to build an application which I started just last week. I'm on #angularjs on irc and folks there have tremendously helped me on how to get started. Someone gave me this link which actually helped me a lot. I jumped to 34th minute since I didn't need the other setups/configuration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQNbsCTFrAA Good luck!
