    What is jQuery?

    jQuery is a cross-platform JavaScript library designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.

    What is React?

    Lots of people use React as the V in MVC. Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack, it's easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.

    What is RefluxJS?

    The goal of the refluxjs project is to get this architecture easily up and running in your web application, both client-side or server-side.
