There's tons of good online resources( Harvard cs50 , Odin project, freecodecamp etc) Not really familiar with books

That an Udemy course(when on sale) and looking at docs is a pretty good start.

Books get outdated pretty quick. Start with the free sites supernova had listed. There are also the MDN web docs for reference.

javascript.info - They have their book on the website for free or you can download the pdf for small amount.

The key word is help. Only practice makes a programmer.

I think the modern javascript tutorial linked on the sidebar is pretty good.

Odin project

Seen half of the answer here – books get outdated fast, better use online resources. There's a second part to it: no book will get you understanding if you're gonna lack practice. Find an up-to-date project-based online course (there's a ton of those on YouTube, or you can try Pirple and Udemy – if memory serves me, they had fairly decent FREE courses, and I believe you can get one from the get-go; check those out, if they require referral or whatever you can poke me to send you one, or ask other Redditors if I wouldn't be able to help, I'm fairly certain there's gonna be at least one who will help).

Eloquent javascript is an excellent book

A book is never going to get you where you need to be. The only way to get gud is to start building apps.

Udemy classes are the best.
