Hello all and thanks for taking the time to view this.
I want to make a PHP application and I am about to start, but I want the front/backend to have as little page loads as possible, but I just don't know what to learn per se. I am torn as to whether I should learn Ajax, AngularJS, EmberJS, NodeJS, BackboneJS, etc?
I really want to know if AJAX is the same as the others I listed or not. I just want to use PHP as the engine to fetch data from an SQL DB and make the application's front/backend seamlessly.
I would like to be pointed in the "right" direction as to which technology to take.
