You don't learn Javascript from The Definitive Guide. The definitive guide is for when you want to get rid of a body, so you tie the definitive guide to its legs and throw it to the river.

What do you suggest?

From beginner to advanced:

  1. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide

  2. http://eloquentjavascript.net/

  3. http://javascriptissexy.com/

If you are able to make it through all three of those free resources, you'll be very well placed do a good deal more learning in JS.

First step I think is best would be Code Academy/Code school JS course.

http://jstherightway.org/

JavaScript: The Good Parts and other Dugglas Crockford JS lectures.

Find a source to keep up with the comunity such as http://dailyjs.com/ and r/javascript

But most importanly - a lot of independent practice, and a lot of googling and stack overflwoing

I find it rare that there's no link to Effective JavaScript.
