I have used javascript a lot on the client side as an addition for various backend frameworks but I never used it for full stack development. In the last few monthts I used angular2, node.js and express in some POCs and and smaller pirvate web applications - Here are some of the links I found helpful.

Frontend

I used mainly angular2 and typescript for my frontends. I looked at various other frameworks, but this is what I liked the most.

angular2

http://angular.io

I really like the hero tutorial by the angular2 team. https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/tutorial/

typescript

since angular2 recommends typescript I started learning it - if you have used an object oriented language like java before, you will feel at home very fast. https://www.typescriptlang.org/

a nice tutorial on how to wirte an angular2 component in typescript https://toddmotto.com/creating-your-first-angular-2-component

How to write a tab-bar in angular2 using typescript http://blog.thoughtram.io/angular/2015/04/09/developing-a-tabs-component-in-angular-2.html

react

Angular uses rxjs components like Observable in some components

bootstrap

I used bootstrap 3 to style my frontend. I really like this framework, it surely doesn't solve all your designers need but it helps to get a decent looking frontend fast http://getbootstrap.com/

You can also style file-upload buttons https://www.abeautifulsite.net/whipping-file-inputs-into-shape-with-bootstrap-3

Prism is a nice framework for code highlighting in javascript http://prismjs.com/index.html
