Choosing a JavaScript Framework: A comparison of pros, cons, and trade-offs

by Pam Selle, Tim Ruffles, Christopher Hiller

Choosing a JavaScript Framework is for project managers, team leads, scrum masters, developers, and basically anyone on the development team who has an interest in the decision-making process for choosing a framework for development. JavaScript frameworks allow you to thoroughly test your codebase, putting it through its paces long before you’ve touched it. A large percent of the code that you write is commonplace, and a smaller percent is comprised of the cool stuff that makes your application worth writing. In this book, we explore the strengths and weaknesses of some of the most widely used JavaScript frameworks that allow you to focus on that exciting percent of code that makes your applications fun to build.

A nice short overview of Angular, Backbone, and Ember. Short enough to read over a 3 hour plane ride.
