I have been on and off Javascript for a long time. It took me till 2018 to get back on track.

I am not quite a beginner and no where near an expert, and can write BS till eternity. That makes me the best qualified person to enlighten you about how to ideally learn Javascript.

I divide this into three categories of learning. My order of preference -

1. Do stuff while you read, watch or listen: learn, break, repeat cycle. You have to get to this to maximise learning.

2. eBook: reading is better

3. Video: watch as other experts do stuff, and try to teach :)

I find the following free resources of exceptional value.

2. Javascript handbook and learning path outlined by Flavio Copes if you need a quick refresher
