When I started out, this and "Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja" didn't help me understand. For me, after months of trying to understand JavaScript, Dmitry Soshnikov's post, JavaScript. The Core, made understanding closure, prototype, and scope chain crystal clear in about 30 minutes. [0] Also, every time someone shares a basics on JavaScript link on Hacker News I also share my interview guide which despite its popularity has yet to land me a job writing JavaScript. Nonetheless, I love writing JavaScript and understanding it and some of the APIs like Angular, Lodash, Nightmare, and async makes me feel empowered. It doesn't cover any topics in ES6 yet.[1] [0] http://dmitrysoshnikov.com/ecmascript/javascript-the-core/ [1] https://github.com/adam-s/js-interview-review
In Learning Advanced JavaScript (2008)
I had my first JavaScript coding interview several months ago. The two days before, as I reviewed all my bookmarks of resources that either helped me a lot or that I continuously return to, I consolidated the links into a single page. At the end of the interview they said sorry to say this but we are looking for a Go developer and would hire me if I took a month to learn Go but I really wanted to build one awesome app using JavaScript before I moved on. The most important thing on the list is the link to What the heck is the event loop anyway? video What do I need to know to ace a JavaScript interview[0] [0]: https://github.com/adam-s/js-interview-review

You might like What Do I Need to Know to Ace a JavaScript Interview?[1] I have been learning JavaScript on my own for about 1 year now. I put together that list of links as I reviewed for a coding job. I had bookmarked a lot of things I thought were important or I kept returning to. They didn't offer me a job coding JavaScript. At the end of 2 hour interview they said they would hire me if I took a month or two to learn Go. (If you are in South Florida, Delivery Dudes is hiring Go coders BTW) I love JavaScript and several months later I'm still not getting paid. I regret not taking that job now, but I want to finish what I started. I can't imagine being useful to anyone with a 3-5 months boot camp. [1] https://github.com/adam-s/js-interview-review
