I would recommend the Full-Stack JavaScript Course and the Javascript Course at CodeCademy.

  1. I would follow the Treehouse full-stack track

  2. After you take the first 3-4 JS courses there, I would read these books:

https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS

  1. Then finish the full-stack track courses.

  2. Then re-read the you don't know JS book again.

  3. Then start building some applications and reading some other JS books:

BUILD YOUR OWN APP

that is how you digest the information you learn.

You should have a portfolio of your work anyways.

freecodecamp.com and teamtreehouse.com are the best tools
