From my personal experience diving into JavaScript, I’d highly recommend Eloquent JavaScript as a starting point. It’s incredibly approachable, especially for beginners, covering all the fundamental concepts like variables, loops, and functions clearly.
It smoothly transitions into more advanced topics such as asynchronous programming and design patterns.
What makes this book even better are the interactive exercises right in your browser-super helpful for hands-on learning!
Plus, when you’re ready to test your JavaScript across various browsers, tools like LambdaTest can significantly streamline the process, ensuring your code behaves consistently everywhere.
