If you don't have much programming experience, you should start with The JavaScript Way (https://github.com/thejsway/thejsway https://github.com/thejsway/thejsway), which was written with beginners in mind (disclaimer: i'm the main author). Then you should study the YDKJSY series like many others have said. IMHO, Eloquent JavaScript is a great book but not really beginner-friendly. It's a solid choice if you are already proficient with another language.
