For a beginner basically in JavaScript, does anyone have a best option to start with? I've been looking at a few, bootstrap, W2ui, and a jqueryui one as well. I have no idea which would be the best for a beginner?

Well, I've been searching for 100 years trying to find how to do javascript for popup windows and such. The basic things you could use in a game. I figured a framework or something might be a good idea to download and look at the code. I learn best when I can see the actual code and learn myself by error than to watch a video to be honest. I figured it would put many of the options at a click away instead of spending HOURS of research online searching google lol.... Just curious is all.

Bootstrap is great, and very easy to pickup. Probably the easiest in fact. jQuery UI is not really a full UI framework, so much as a collection of supplemental features. The last time I messed with it was a long time ago, but at the time it was very heavy for what it did - almost all of which you can get as part of bootstrap.

Foundation is absolutely amazing if you aren't opposed to SASS, but it comes with a slightly higher learning curve IMO.

My recommendation would have to go to Bootstrap.
