The  best resource for learning a client-side framework is jsFiddle because
it supports collaboration, forkability and simple registration for all these
popular frameworks:

Mootools, jQuery, Prototype, YUI, DoJo, Processing, ExtJS, Raphael, RightJS

Learning a server side framework / stack is more difficult because there are
more setup, deployment, and access issues and the available options are not
as collaborative in nature. The best you can hope for are platforms that
deploy with a single git command. Three options in this category are as
follows:

Ruby / Rails
http://www.heroku.com/

PHP
https://phpfog.com/

NET
