I stumbled upon javascript.info a year back when I was just getting into programming.Even with missing answers and broken links, it was immensely helpful. this is the first thing I recommend people learning javascript.

Javascript.info is both a very complete reference, and starts from the very basics, so is friendly to absolute beginners in Javascript. I suggest also that is a more friendly reference for required background knowledge than Crockford's Javscript the Good Parts and a better reference than Haverbeke's Eloquent Javascript.

This is the best source for javascript for beginners and experienced.

This website will teach you each and every concept in a very detailed manner and will be very easy to grasp all the concepts.

JavaScript.info really have good content for beginners. But along with theoretical knowledge of the concept you should practice coding, like you completed javascript fundamental topic you should practice solving some problems for example, reverse a string, if a string is palindrome, if a number is even or odd.

The explainations are great, and accomplish what a lot of other tutorials fail at: explaining why you do things.Most tutorials just keep tell you how to do things, but do explain why you're doing them. They don't paint the big picture.

I have tried learning JS from a lot of places online but when I came across this site everything changed for me. All of the contents are well curated and topics are explained in simple terms along with figures sometimes to explain the concept.

It's a really good in depth explanation for a lot of things that not many other resources cover. I'd go back and forth between this and eloquent JavaScript for serious theoretical understanding of how js actually works.

wow i can't believe we can read such an amazing tutorial for free. in-depth, lots of examples, lots of figures, covers everything you should know.

I would say above is the best tutorial site for every javascript devs from newbies to even experts.

This book has helped me plug some gaps in my still inadequate knowledge of JS, and has been a great complementary piece to FCC. Every lesson Ive looked at so far also includes exercises that reinforce an understanding of the concepts being taught.
