Reddit mentions of JavaScript Bible

> But co-writing with a book takes up a lot more time than co-writing with video.

If by co-writing you mean writing the examples from the book/video and making them work, well I never do that. I always read technical programming books as fiction and never try the examples. Sometimes I just return to particular parts in the books for reference, but that's it. For the practical part I do my own things. I don't have time to retype the examples from the books, my life is too short. I got plenty of needs that imply writing software to solve my own personal practical problems. If I think about it long enough, I always come up with some really small project that's (at least theoretically) possible to be made by an almost complete language newbie.

I don't know how useful my personal experience would prove to you, but here you go. My JavaScript journey started when I was living in a cave with no internet access and a very old computer with such a small amount of RAM that it could only run Opera. I found three books about JS on some old CD and picked the basics from them. Having a bit of prior programming experience helped, but I wouldn't overestimate that influence.

Here are the books:

https://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Good-Parts-Douglas-Crockford/dp/0596517742/

https://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Enlightenment-Cody-Lindley-2013-01-10/dp/B01FEKKCSA/

https://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Bible-Danny-Goodman/dp/0764531883/

I found the first one most interesting and useful, the last one was good to use as reference and replacement for the lacking access to online searches.

As you can see, all of them are quite old (and maybe outdated already, since the JS ecosystem moves ahead so fast).

I'm pretty sure there are tons of newer books nowadays.

Very recently I was suggested to have a look at http://javascript.info/ but I didn't manage to get some time to have a closer look at it, so I can't comment on the content there.
