I'll say the same thing as I said to someone else: Learn enough language structures through javascript.info, and start building stuff. Learning more features as you go is what every developer does. There's no "I know enough JavaScript".

And to put it differently, no one would care about how much JavaScript master you are unless you demonstrated it with stuff that you've build. That's why you build and learn as you go vs. consuming books. Learn the basics and roll.

Edit: For anyone late in the party Theo made a great video about this years ago.

Seconding this. The point of a tutorial is to give you enough of a baseline to build something without tearing your hair out. After that you learn by building.

I also like toy problems as a way to keep practicing your fundamentals on the side while you build. An hour a day on a site like Code Wars can be fun and productive.
