I have just started learning Javascript and I am absolutely overwhelmed with the number of technologies available especially on the browser side. Earlier I thought that just Javascript should suffice but now it appears that I need to understand JQuery, GWT, YUI and another dozen acronyms I do not even know the expansion for. Can somebody please tell me which are the most essential technologies one needs to be fluent with in this domain?

    I usually go with standard JavaScript unless I need to modify the DOM or attach events. In those cases, each browser has its own way of doing things and then it’s much simpler to use a well-tested framework.

    Right now, I’ve found that jQuery is the most light-weight and intuitive choice if all you want is the ability to control the DOM. For everything else, I write my own code.

    Just don’t use more than one framework or it’ll get messy.
