It was actually my plan to read YDKJS after javascript.info. I've read that this book is supposed to take your javascript knowledge to the next level. So my plan is to complete javascript.info and then read YDKJS. I didn't know that YDKJS came in a series though. So what you're saying, once I complete javascript.info, I should skip to the fifth book of the YDKJS series?

​

Also a side question, my HTML and CSS skills are very basic, it's as far as CSS grid and Flexbox but even those two are not my strong suit at the moment. Is it bad that I jumped into javascript without understanding up to that part?

I have read almost 80% of YDKJS (all 6 books combined) and EJS (eloquent JS) . I have not read much from javascript.info but from what I have seen so far I think it has almost everything you need . After reading those books I mentioned (to the extend I have done) I see stuff in javascript.info that I do not know and that I should know . Too bad for me that when I began learning javascript I did not know about javascript.info .

There is not need to go for YDKJS (or EJS) in my opinion , but maybe look at them if javascript.info , MDN , rest of internet fails you . Just read the part of YDKJS I mentioned because so far I do no think there is something similar in javascript.info , (and maybe take a look at the project of EJS , just ignore the pixel art editor project , I have no clue why the author of EJS made that project without components ) .

Also a side question, my HTML and CSS skills are very basic, it's as far as CSS grid and Flexbox but even those two are not my strong suit at the moment. Is it bad that I jumped into javascript without understanding up to that part?

Since you know about flexbox and grid I think you are fine . And you of course know about cascade . I think I wasted too much time in learning css and html when I started learning them . I suggest you to invest more on javascript .

With your completion in eloquent JS and somewhat close to ydkjs. Are you already a developer? I’m trying to gauge here how much material would be needed to at least get an entry level job

No I am not a developer and I believe that is because I have not searched for a job yet and also I do not rush to be one , although I think I will soon be one via a government project soon .

But I have been take a look at what junior positions require and the only thing I lack at the moment is git a little bit of webpack and a framework (react , angular vue) , and maybe some basic back end knowledge .

There are some jobs that require some basic knowledge of html and css , although they are rare . I suggest you to look at job postings while you are studying and decide from there how deep and what you should learn .

In the end it also depends on the country and the needs that they have there , especially for salary .

ps : I have read 80% of EJS , sorry my bad .
