I've been using JS for years. I'm pretty comfortable, but I definitely have room to grow. What are your top suggestions for learning intermediate/advanced topics (pure JS only. I'm not looking for frameworks at the moment)? I prefer video based training over books/written training. Paid or free, it doesn't matter.<p>Thanks for the suggestions!
Nodevember Videos about PROMISE object - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa2clhsYIDY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa2clhsYIDY</a><p>Nodevember Videos has interesting session on ES6 (ECMAScript 6 spec discussion), this is learning about the future.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjkc9m9vYCU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjkc9m9vYCU</a><p>JS Design Pattern book (I refer to it quite regularly) - <a href="http://addyosmani.com/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/book/" rel="nofollow">http://addyosmani.com/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/bo...</a><p>Eloquent Javascript (First book I read after working for few months on JS) - <a href="http://eloquentjavascript.net/" rel="nofollow">http://eloquentjavascript.net/</a><p>Additionally - read the specification always helps - this is the draft of ES6 (<a href="http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-262.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST...</a>)<p>Also, if you want to learn pure JAVASCRIPT, I presume you should also work on NODE.JS because JAVASCRIPT has evolved big time in the past few years to become "THE" Language.<p>Recent conference (NODEVEMBER) has lot of interesting videos - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7z0nOE8ITfrGnXJgNzYaEQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7z0nOE8ITfrGnXJgNzYaEQ</a>
I learned a lot from a project on Github (<a href="https://github.com/braitsch/node-login" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/braitsch/node-login</a>) and taking a look at his code. I particularly liked the way he organized his project and the way he wrote his controllers. I was learning Node when I originally went over it, but I began writing my JS similar to how he wrote his. My code became more object-oriented.
Douglas Crockford has some great videos on javascrip:

I highly recommend 'Secrets of JavaScript Ninja'[1] for learning intermediate/advanced topics of JS. The book is written by John Resig (creator of jQuery) and Bear Bibeault<p>[1] <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-JavaScript-Ninja-John-Resig/dp/193398869X" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Secrets-JavaScript-Ninja-John-Resig/dp...</a>
This series, <a href="https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS</a> has been good for learning the nuances of javascript.
