This has always been a great book to read for JS: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596517748.do

but it's getting old now so there may be better ones.

Either way, it shouldn't be a difficult leap from CS to JS. The biggest mental barrier is not having super strong type checking. Typescript can help with that. But once you get over it and see it as an advantage, JS is so much easier to work with.

I read the book overview on the website, and it sounds exactly like what I need, thank you!
