Hello,

I'm looking to learn Javascript.
My knowledge of it is currently very limited, so I would like to learn it properly.. from scratch.

Could anyone recommend me Javascript resources?

For : a concise, modern plan that complements what and pointed out. Good reference books and tutorials are useful, but pair them with up-to-date docs and lots of hands‑on practice—JavaScript has changed a lot since 2010.

Start in short, focused stages:

  • Language basics: types, control flow, functions, scope/closures, prototypes.
  • Modern syntax: let/const, arrow functions, template literals, destructuring, modules.
  • DOM and events: element selection, event delegation, forms and accessibility.
  • Asynchronous JS: callbacks → promises → async/await; use the Fetch API.
  • Tooling and workflow: npm, basic bundling, linters, and the browser DevTools debugger.
  • Testing and deployment: simple unit tests, basic CI, and version control (git).

Practical resources to follow this path:

Practical workflow: code every day for short sessions; build three tiny projects (a DOM-driven todo, a fetch-based data viewer, a simple Node script); commit to GitHub and debug with breakpoints rather than relying on alerts. Hold off on jumping into a framework until core JavaScript and async patterns feel comfortable.

Caveat: avoid outdated advice (document.write, overreliance on globals). Focus on understanding why code works, not just copying examples. This approach will make later topics—React, testing, performance—much easier to learn.
