I have a small but growing JavaScript blog/tutorials site you may want to check out: openjavascript.info.
New posts a few times a week :)

Here is a link to learn javascript faster with Udemy udemy.com/course/the-complete-java... : I learned the basic fundamentals of javascript while doing a project. It's a lot of fun learning this way.

Lots of people seem to like Eloquent JavaScript 3e to learn the language (Chapters 1-11) as opposed to the Browser's Web API (Node-API for Node.js; Deno CLI API for Deno) that was designed to be manipulated with JavaScript.

The language is governed by the ECMAScript Language Specification which is implemented by each JavaScript runtime to some varying degree.

JavaScript the language skills transfer between environments, so it's a good idea to

  1. Know where JavaScript ends and the runtime API begins (or any library or framework for that matter)
  2. Initially focus on learning the language while dealing with the runtime API only as needed

For example, the DOM is a Web API—so the nature it's design cannot be directly be blamed on JavaScript (it follows an entirely separate specification).

Another example is that some beginners seem to be taught in a way that they aren't clear where JavaScript ends and React starts (nothing new same thing used to happen with jQuery)—JavaScript is the core, fundamental skill, React isn't.

I would watch a few to get started, but more than tutorials I would watch documentation. I read this series of books and it gave me a good base to start doing small projects and really grasp the concepts, but in the end, is looking for a method that suits you, our brains work different ways and my approach may not work for you or vice-versa.

I'm definitely with you all on the Mozilla docs.

As for a course, I would definitely say that Dan Abramov's JustJavaScript teaches you not only what you can do in JS but also WHY. You can check out the free preview to see if it works for you. Dan Abramov is a co-creator of Redux and has been a member of the React core team for the past few years.

If you like books, I'd recommend Elegant JavaScript and You Don't Know JS. Both are free. However, it's more trivia knowledge so don't kill yourself with it.
