Reddit mentions of Professional JavaScript for Web Developers

If you can wait a few months, I recommend reading
Professional JavaScript for Web Developers 4th Edition
. It's scheduled for release on July 31, 2018. The 3rd Edition was the best JavaScript book in 2012, but I would no longer buy that edition since some parts have become outdated. To shorten the waiting time you could take a look at Eloquent JavaScript 3rd Edition. It's free and from 2018.

I learnt ( in fact I am still learning ) JS from YDKJS ( all books read almost 80% , you can view them legally here ) , EJ (read almost 60% , you can download it legally from here , the site of the book is here ) and MDN , with a background of : I know what if and for does and i also know what a function is . My advice is to jump from one resource to another if you feel you are stuck . Also I did not read them linearly . Another book that is useful although a bit outdated is DOM enlightment (read almost 20% of it) . I do believe that professional JS , and javascript.info are also worth to take a look .

Other resources for JS are a meh from me .

I have no clue about the third book in the video .

edit : js the definitive guide is also worth looking although a bit outdated .

Here's a short list of what I used:

• https://www.freecodecamp.org/ Use this for basics and just a general refresher from time to time. Also has lots of challenges you can use.
  
• https://watchandcode.com/ This one really made some basic things click for me and made me really understand some important concepts.
  
• The Modern JavaScript Bootcamp (2019) (Already mentioned by you, but funnily enough also one of my favorites)
  
• The Complete Node.js Developer Course (3rd Edition) (same guy as above, this time some node.js)
  
• https://developer.mozilla.org/nl/docs/Web/JavaScript , MDN docs are just great in general, but they also have some guides. Another way I like to use them is just make myself familiar with all the methods of for example an array. So I go to https://developer.mozilla.org/nl/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array and just go through everything one by one. This way I have way more knowledge about all the options I have when I get to an array problem.
  
• Book: Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja
  
• Book: Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code
  
• Book: Eloquent Javascript (not the biggest fan of the write style, but the content is still quite good)
  
• Preordered book: Professional JavaScript for Web Developers
  
  This is all the result of lots of googling and personal experience. I am not in any way affiliated with any of these links and I have paid for everything myself when I bought them.
  
  How I 'invented' my project idea is basically by adopting the strategy to write down every idea I had. So did something annoy me at work? Write it down. Did I need something and it wasn't available or reasonably priced? Write it down. Had a random idea? Write it down. Every few weeks review your list and see if you are still convinced it will work otherwise delete it from the list. Keep this up and you will end up with a lot of deleted ideas, some decent ideas and a few good ideas. Keep expanding on your best ideas and keep reviewing everything. In the end you will have an idea that has survived lots and lots of reviews and has a fighting chance in the real world.
  
  Some things I like about my current project:
  
  
• Doesn't need a huge investment besides my time;
  
• Achievable by a small number of people or even just myself;
  
• Can make a simple version first, but also have lots of opportunity to expand on this version;
  
• Doesn't need huge amount of support.

You Don't Know Javascript is a good resource, and can be read free at the linked repo or purchased in book format
