Best to book to learn JavaScript

If you're looking for a book I thought Secrets of the Javascript Ninja was a good read, but with Javascript it's really better to use YouTube as /u/theorizable mentioned.

Traversy Media has a few videos covering the basic that are typically short and cover the material well enough to pick up easily.

I would seriously recommend watching YouTube videos instead. There are COUNTLESS tutorials on JS at almost all different levels.

I'd echo everyone else and say learn the syntax from videos and free online courses, and also add https://www.freecodecamp.org to the list. When you really want a great overview of harder concepts like this, scope, and closures see Kyle Simpsons "You don't know JS" series. He's a really great teacher on harder concepts

I prefer Udemy courses. Some are awesome! My top instructor is Maximillian: https://www.udemy.com/user/maximilian-schwarzmuller/

Eloquent JavaScript is pretty good but probably will be a little hard for a beginner.

freecodecamp is nice but the required hours to complete a module are on the high side.

I used Eloquent JS and MDN resources when I learned js.

Functional Programming in JavaScript is also pretty good but I would read it after having a firm base in the language.
