Give advice on the application. What to use?

Question

JavaScript

I'm going to make an application for the social network. It is simple, the gameplay between users consists of a background and a few static game objects on it, as well as a window for answering questions. I chose a server on node.js (the latest express) and a client without canvas libraries, and I didn’t encounter DOM and backbonejs, only jQuery. Tell me if the choice is right, and give must-read materials on this topic.

Answer 1

Backbone.js structures the code, helps distribute tasks, and makes it easier to maintain. If the application is really complex - the choice is good. This is a kind of MVC implementation.
For mastering it is desirable to have good skills in JS.
You can look towards AngularJS, another MV * framework, it will be simpler and have many built-in features.

Answer 2

jQuery will suffice in this case. Experience is, do it faster and better.
