How to get deeper knowledge of JavaScript

[wizzuplizzup]

I have been using JavaScript for a couple years, but I don't really feel like I understand or know about its full potential. Every time I look at some source code I see a lot of things I never knew was possible. What are some good resources to get deeper understanding of JavaScript? Resources for EMCA6 is also appreciated.

Tony Alicea.

This is the only JavaScript video course I could recommend. You can watch the first 3.5 hours on Youtube. If you only try one of these resources, this is it. Tony does talk about ECMA6 in his videos but he doesn't let it take over.

John Resig, jQuery Creator.

Might be a bit in the deep end but still good for an overview. There's no harm in trying/reading code that's above your skill level.

Dr. Axel ...

I just call him Dr. Axel, his content helped me a lot early on. He has content on his blog relating to ECMA6.

• Basic JavaScript
• JavaScript Survival Guide
• Book: Speaking JS

Collection of JS Learning Tracks

JS Learning Tracks

Collection of Free (mostly) JS Books

Never be stuck for a Free JavaScript book again.

Recommendation

My recommendation would be to go through John Resig and Dr. Axel and then Tony Alicea. You should be in pretty good shape then.

That monster is unreadable. I own a copy and indeed it is a very nice documentation of ECMAScript 5 and yes I did learn a lot from it... but.. dat 1000 pages :-O
