Javascript Resources

A collection of books and resources that I have used over the years to become a better Javascript Developer and why they are important.

General Javascript

Javascript: Understanding the Weird Parts – This course is really incredible.  It is on udemy and I have been through it in it’s entirety 3 times over the last few years.  If you do just on thing on this list and follow through with it, this course should be it.

Secrets of the Javscript Ninja – This is a great book that covers some very detailed javascript concepts.  The description of the event loop is the most complete I have read.

Dmitry Soshnikov – Exceptional Blog Series, I remember studying the ES3 material quite extensively and it is still incredibly relevant with modern JS for understanding how Javascript works as a language.


VueJS

I think the best way to learn an ecosystem/libary like Vue is to dig deep into the questions that are stumping other people.

  1. Go on stackoverflow, read, attempt to answer and understand the correct answers for every new question that comes up
  2. Similar on the help site forum.vuejs.org

React and Redux

Redux Tutorial – Github repo that has evolved over the years to be the best redux tutorial I know of.  This will help you get your head around it.
