Hi Akhil,

one idea could be to:

  1. Go to the Treehouse Library
  2. Filter the courses for Javascript
  3. Target all the courses in order of:
    1. Beginner
    2. Intermediate
    3. Advanced

Good luck with your learning in pursuit of mastery!

After the first reply listing 1 - 4:

There is a course specifically on manipulating the DOM; I'm not sure how well it is covered in the basics course(s).

The latest "version" of JavaScript, which is ECMAScript6, also called ES2015 or ES6. (It has arrow functions, let, constr, default parameters, rest, spread, promises, observables, subscriptions, map, set, generators, classes and other new features) (Also learn TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript, so ES6 with a little bit more.)

At some point: node and later, Angular (not AngularJS).
