Ping Alex (alex.moore@headspring.com). She's our recruiter and currently looking for "college graduates" willing to start in June. Austin, Dallas or Houston. You can mention me (Cristian) if you like.
(Also I think there’s an open position for a technical recruiter in Houston, I can refer you to Kristi, our lead recruiter).
At Headspring, we believe there's a better way
We believe there's a better way to build software, to work with clients, and to do business. And we believe that it all starts with people.
Headspring is much more than a provider of enterprise software strategy and development, and the values that drive our company aren't just lip service. We are motivated by our daily opportunity to create a real impact in the world, and to enable our employees, our clients and our community to achieve beyond their perceived potential.
I’ve been in the company for 2 months now (Houston office, consultant/Frontend dev) and I must say it’s the best company I’ve been part of. Great culture, great talent and lots of benefits. You can see more at the company’s website, and I will try to answer as many questions as I can, either here or by e-mail (cristian.berrios@headspring.com).

thank you, I've ready Addy Osmani's book but I think I didn't grasp some of those concepts well.
About Marionette, I started searching for resources and most current blog posts seem to be about moving from Marionette to React so I'm not sure if I'm learning it.
My idea is learning Ampersand once I fully understand Backbone, but I haven't seen other prominent micro frameworks/libraries with relevant number of job postings.
Sencha gets a lot of flak, but IMO it is the most mature, built out framework you can get. You get, out of the box:
1. MVC/MVVM structuring
2. a DOM abstraction, which albeit requiring a lot of learning, works once you grok how to use it (something that can only unfortunately come with experience)
3. Touch driven gestures
4. History and repetitive task management
5. A grid view that's unparalleled in the market.
And that's just for starters. It's downsides include a steep learning curve and a classical inheritance model, but those should hardly be blockers to anyone willing to invest the time it demands.
