Well, clearly Web development is an important market, and I'd like to prepare my students for it as best I can. The problem is, I don't want to adopt some flavor-of-the-month framework that will be dead and gone before they even graduate.

There's a new one at least every year, when new kids graduate from college and want to "leave their mark" on the world.

I think the best thing to do with this class is to focus on pure JavaScript, and maybe a (relatively) lightweight library like jQuery. That will give the students the necessary background to decide which framework(s) to use in the future.
