<p>
We tried something new at OttawaJS: a panel discussion of the
organizers, asking which tools they use and recommend. Our goal was to
help new and intermediate developers make sense of the huge number of
choices out there.
</p>
<p>
Some of the key suggestions were:
<ul>
<li>Start building something. Hello world. Anything.</li>
<li>A lot of the choice is just personal preference.</li>
<li>Choose any one of the frameworks and learn it.</li>
<li>Get to know how frameworks really work behind the magic.</li>
<li>Get involved with the JS community for help and guidance.</li>
