What is the best path to learning Javascript?

Treehouse has many fantastic Javascript courses and then goes onto Node.js and Angular too.

I want to learn them all but don't know in what order I should do it. I know about the tracks but in this case I am solely interested in learning Javascript and all the ins and outs.

So, given that I want to do every single one of these, in what order should I learn:

  • Ajax Basics
  • AngularJS
  • Build a Mobile Web App using jQuery Mobile & Ajax - Part 1
  • Build a Mobile Web App using jQuery Mobile & Ajax - Part 2
  • Building with AngularJS and APIs
  • Creating a jQuery plugin
  • Ember.js
  • Interactive Web Pages with Javascript
  • Introduction to Programming
  • Javascript Basics
  • Javascript Foundations
  • Javascript Loops, Arrays and Objects
  • jQuery Basics
  • Node.js Basics
  • Programming Step-by-Step: Object-Oriented Javascript (Part 1)
  • Programming Step-by-Step: Object-Oriented Javascript (Part 2)
  • Treehouse Club: Javascript
  • Treehouse Club - MASH

  1. JavaScript Basics

  2. JavaScript Loops. Arrays, Objects

  3. jQuery Basics

  4. Interactive Web Pages with JavaScript

  5. AJAX Basics

I picked those 5 in that order because that is how I learned them in the Front-End Web Dev Track. Those 5 give you a solid foundation and from there, and I know you may want a more specific answer, you can pick where you want to go next.
