The first 3.5 hours of Tony Alicea's Udemy course on JavaScript's inner workings, covering topics such as first-class functions, closures, prototypal inheritance and how the language behaves under the hood.

HN commenters call it one of the best JavaScript courses: rigorous and deep but not boring, and freely available.

There is a yt video that I found very well done and explained very well. He goes very deep in the inner workings of javascript. I think you will like it. It is "modern" but not a new video. It is probably about 3 years old. Still relevant. He has a udemy course for $10 bucks. ▶ this video

Once again I am going to shamelessly plug my favorite course author Anthony Alicea and his JS/NodeJS/Angular1 course[1],[2],[3]. I really really liked Tony's course as it gave quite a deep look into topics, which are usually only attainable from books, while at the same time keeping it very interesting and also contain lots of best practice material and being extremely dense but easy to digest. Do let me know if you guys know any other courses of the same style. For quite a while I have been trying to find similar courses/tutorials of similar caliber when it comes to knowledge gained and being easy to digest. If you haven't watched any of Tony's courses, do give them a shot. Rigorous -- but not boring or too long. [1] ▶ this video [2] link [3] link . Disclaimer: Because it may sound like it, I'd like to clarify I have absolutely no affiliation with Tony or his courses. I just really really liked them.

We're two sides of the same coin - I know some JS (can't say I have any sort of mastery though) but don't have good HTML/CSS foundations. Let's trade resources? Here's the one I found to be the best by far - Anthony Alicea's Javascript Understanding The Weird Parts course. It's rigorous, and develops and intuition while not being long and boring. You can quite comfortably finish it in a week. Also, one thing that would really help if you're doing said course is is Joan Mira's notes[2] which I will myself be compiling into a Gitbook for future reference. [1] ▶ this video [2] joanmira.com/javascript-understanding-the-weird-parts/ If you find anything similar in style to Tony's courses, I would love to start them right away. The thing is I'm right now in a patch of analysis paralysis of not being able to decide which course I should invest time in rather than just starting something.

If anyone has ever tried Anthony Alicea's JS/NodeJS/Angular1 course[1],[2],[3], please let me know if rithmschool's or any other course holds a candle to it. I really really liked Tony's course as it gave quite a deep look into topics, which are usually only attainable from books, while at the same time keeping it very interesting and also contain lots of best practice material and being extremely dense but easy to digest. Do let me know if you guys know any other courses of the same style. If you haven't watched any of Tony's courses, do give them a shot -- they are the holy grails of online education for me. Rigorous -- but not boring or too long. [1] ▶ this video [2] link [3] link Disclaimer: Because it may sound like it, I'd like to clarify I have absolutely no affiliation with Tony or his courses.
