Learn a javascript framework

Hi T-Team! These days I was thinking to bring to the next level my knowledge of javascript. I would like to know your opinion about backbone.js and angular.js. Pro and con? Which of the two has a shorter learning curve?

Thanks for your attention :)

Hi Gian, Here is a link to the Javascript Framework Comparison which I think should be helpful to you.
I copied part of the summary section below.

Backbone embraces minimalism. It is small, fast and easy to learn, and provides the minimum (or in many cases, even less than the minimum) that you need to get going.

Angular’s innovative approach for extending HTML will make a lot of sense for people who are web developers in soul. With a large community and Google behind it, it is here to stay and grow, and it works well both for quick prototyping projects and large-scale production applications.

Best regards,
Henry
