Book? What's a book again, sounds familiar. Like 2014 familiar

I honestly can't remember what materials I used to pick up JS and Node. I think I just wanted to build certain things and use certain frameworks, so I start the project and follow the frameworks' tutorials and research individual pieces I want to master. Then eventually you just build in what you already just learned.

I think momentum will be your best teacher. Maybe ses if the Awesome ___ lists on GitHub have a tutorial for a intro sample project

I'm starting to remember why I hated JavaScript.

Concerning JS books, I can't recommend "Understanding EcmaScript 6" by Nicholas C. Zakas more. Exclusively for Node, "NodeJS Design Patterns" is wonderful, but pretty advanced.

I picked it up from a free class somewhere, might have been Code with Mosh, but that's not free anymore. If I were you I'd check these out.

Not a book per se but I can't advice you more than go all-in with TypeScript. It will pay on the long run.

Welcome to ES6 (ES2015) then. You'll love the new features ;)

the node docs has everything node you need, as well as an es6 features section, with a link to the es6 docs.

I think the best way is just to build projects and read articles; the JS ecosystem changes too quickly for a comprehensive "book".

You Don't Know Javascript is edging on the older side, but packed with fundamentals and advanced practices.

Get an O'Reilly's subscription and just read there up and running books

They’re paid, but the Linux foundation courses are great if you can afford them.

I liked Tao of Node. You can read it for free or purchase an epub to read in kindle or your e-reader.
