Continued Learning

I've completed the Web Development track. I feel I learned a bit on all the topics all though I was already pretty solid in HTML and CSS areas. JavaScript I feel I have gained a fair amount of of knowledge but I also know that I'm not there yet. In CSS and HTML I still run in to layout issues from time to time but I can think my way out of them with just a little guidance form another however in JavaScript I am lacking enough that following the code challenges I was constantly asking myself. what I am supposed to call a method, is this it or is this a function or an object?

Is there any sort of daily homework I can do? Repetition is key I am sure and remember WHY something is done a certain way always helps.

SideNote: Will there be a JavaScript book anytime soon?

I've been following the JS tutorials on codecademy as well as the ones on here, I've found that using both has complemented my learning. This is also quite a good guide on what to do Here

I think the best way is to find a few good resources and to combine them.

You can always try to learn CoffeeScript which is like Sass for JavaScript. Write less code and get the same results. I just started learning how to use it myself and its cut my time greatly.

I am interested in CoffeeScript but I feel I need a better grasp yet of JavaScript
