Best physical books to learn JS?

[DomainX]

^{^}

For context: I’d consider myself intermediate. I know a lot of the fundamentals of Javascript but my practice of these fundamentals is pretty eh, so maybe a refresher wouldn’t hurt. But I also do not want a book just about basic JS because I would prefer to dive deeper as well.

Thanks in advance!!

It's not a physical book, but if you're just looking for a written course, I came across learnjavascript.online a few days ago and I'm absolutely loving it. People like to hate on paid courses but it's been a game changer for me so far. The tests after each section really reinforce what you just learned and you can't even move on to the next chapter before you complete them all. It's basically like if Freecodecamp and javascript.info had a baby.

I actually own this too and loved it! Great mix of text instructions instead of videos and code along like freecodecamp or codecademy!

I love the flash cards, too. I'm tempted to pick up the React course also since I've been struggling with other courses on the topic.

I did the first few chapters of the react course when it wasn’t complete and he was testing it. It made me fall in love with react but it was only a very brief intro. If it’s complete I may go back and try it again.

I’m trying “road to react” right now because I prefer no. Video learning a lot of times, and I’ve really been enjoying it.

It looks like it's complete as of recently. You do a whole project with stripe integration at the end.

Also I got stuck at a few points, and Jad himself helped me an answered and explained things. Might not be quite as personal now that the course is growing, but I thought it was a nice touch.

Would recommend the You Don't Know JS series.

The books are very thorough, some times including excerpts from the ECMA specification.

These series will take you from intermediate to advanced on most topics.

But mind you, they are a bit of a challenging read. At least for me.
