Hi. I am new. I know HTML/CSS and now trying to learn JavaScript. It would be my first ever "real" programming language. I would like some suggestions of books that teach from bottom-up, from the basics all the way up to more advanced things.
I searched up beginner books but many of them seem to assume one or more of (A) You know the basics of JavaScript (B) You are a programmer coming to JavaScript from some other language (C) You know the fundamentals of programming. Some books for instance that operate under these assumptions or are too terse for me are Eloquent JavaScript, The Good Parts, You Don't Know JS, Speaking JS, The Definitive Guide. My aim is to be able to learn React/Angular after learning JS and be able to build web apps and websites.
What physical print book recommendation would you thus give to a complete novice to programming and JavaScript (I don't know the fundamentals of programming and don't know any programming language or JavaScript) who only has HTML/CSS basics down? The book should start from the absolute fundamentals/basics of JavaScript and follow ES6 or later and thus published after June 2015 (recent) when ES6 was finalized.

I think "JavaScript: The good parts" from Douglas Crookford is the one that all JavaScript developers must read. I don't think that coming from html or css worlds would take benfit from it but you will learn a lot if you read it.
But if i only know html and css is it a good book to learn JavaScript from with no previous javascript knowledge?
Maybe you are searching for something like this "JavaScript for dummies", books.google.es/books/about/JavaSc...
Yes, it is a very good book to start with.
Isn't it not es6?
I think it is.
It was published 10 years ago so is outdated :(
