My fave is Ruby-on-Rails. It gets you up in no time and it makes your life so much easier as a programmer. And it works well with Front-end technologies. Also it provides so much security for you app which is kinda built-in to Rails stack. It also easier to deploy to CIs and VCS.
My second fave is Django(written in Python).If you'd wanna create a whole project within a deadline, Django is your best bet. Easy to setup , MVC architecture (in its own Pythonic way), get you up and running in no time and tons of libraries out there.
My third fave is NodeJS + ExpressJS. If you're looking for speed and performance, NodeJS is there to help you. Written in JavaScript, popular Web Development language, which makes it super popular and compatible with almost everything. But NodeJS is relatively younger and smaller than above well-established Frameworks out there like Rails, Django, .NET etc. But ExpressJS got NodeJS' back. The combination of both will serve you perfect. But learning the whole thing might take you so much longer.
My fourth choice would be Laravel. Written in good ol' server side PHP. I'd say its perfect for small and medium sized applications. And it interacts pretty well with Databases. Its pretty fast and works well with JavaScript libraries and Frameworks.
There are other Frameworks as well like .NET , Spring, CodeIgniter etc. All frameworks serve different needs and they all have their own merits and de-merits. And all of these Framework learning tracks are available on Treehouse. Good luck (:

19,323 PointsEvery framework i mentioned above are compatible with RESTful APIs. And provides additional security. Even though i love Rails, i'd still highly recommend NodeJS + ExpressJS + AJAX. But Rails is everything you're looking for. Im pretty sure so many people would disagree with me here but its just my opinion.(:
