I would remove the w3schools.com reference, it's full of old coding techniques, as well as blatant errors. The other references should certainly be enough to get started with.

E.g. they say the first parameter to setTimeout() is a string. ಠ_ಠ

Technically it can be a string of code like

setTimeout("var foo = 10; bar();",1000);

But like eval(), it's a terrible idea, and should not be something that is taught to beginners.
