Ask HN: How to start learning JavaScript concepts

[gpayal]

Have been using frameworks like jQuery and AngularJS in multiple applications. But I have felt that I have not been able to understand the core concepts of javascript programming the way it should be understood. I want to learn how to create a JS frontend which is modular and clean. What resources like books and blogs do you recommend?

I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials on React and related topics ([0]). As part of that list, I have a page of links to Javascript learning resources ([1]). In particular, I highly recommend "Eloquent Javascript" ([2]), "You Don't Know JS" ([3]), and everything ever written by Dr. Axel Rauschmayer ([4]).

Wow! I am really liking "You don't know JS".

Thank you @acemarke for the response and introducing me to these cool resources.

That's really all you need to get started.
