Ask HN: How to start learning JavaScript concepts
Have been using frameworks like jQuery and AngularJS in multiple applications. But I have felt that I have not been able to understand the core concepts of javascript programming the way it should be understood. I want to learn how to create a JS frontend which is modular and clean. What resources like books and blogs do you recommend?
- cocktailpeanuts 10y agoRead this https://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Good-Parts-Douglas-Crockford/dp/0596517742 https://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Good-Parts-Douglas-Crockfo... That's really all you need to get started.

- acemarke 10y agoI keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials on React and related topics ([0]). As part of that list, I have a page of links to Javascript learning resources ([1]). In particular, I highly recommend "Eloquent Javascript" ([2]), "You Don't Know JS" ([3]), and everything ever written by Dr. Axel Rauschmayer ([4]).
