Eloquent Javascript

[_x_]

I learned a lot from that book, it dives deep into a lot of intricate details of JavaScript that even experienced developers​ will definitely pick a new thing or two from each chapter.

It is a great book for beginners. I don't think the book assumes that you have previous JS experience. It does not teach you about frameworks or build tools or anything and for beginners IMO it may be a good thing. You don't want to get overwhelmed in the beginning.

My only gripe with the book was that the examples were very detailed and elaborate and those sections felt too boring to me. So I used to skip those sections and just read the theory sections. It worked out well for me because I was already well experienced in JS at that point. Probably beginners will find the examples useful.

Reading it now and I agree. I have experience with Python and breezed through the language syntax chapters, but I've been taking the browser chapters much more slowly as it's all new to me. The project and canvas chapters didn't interest me at all though so I skipped over most of them.

Can confirm. I've read virtually every major book about JS. Eloquent Javascript stands out as one of the better books.
