I started web development by learning Angular 1, maybe I'm the minority, but I actually liked it in the beginning, and only grow to dislike after dived deep into it.

I was a web newbie but experienced developer in other field. The attraction of a framework like angular is it lets you write relatively large chunk of 'flat' code without having to worry about the structure of your code. So for a newbie it's easy to get started, of course you'll eventually face the dark side. But then you have to make a choice to either abandon angular and go for something else, or keep on going and make yourself good at angular.

Another thing is, there are plenty of good resources for learning frameworks like angular and react. Can anyone point to me some good up to date resources of building a functioning website from scratch by using purely jQuery?
