(Warning: Blasphemy) Website Recommendation for JavaScript Education

Hi,

Sorry for this blasphemous post! I am looking for advice on javascript education. I love Laracasts and although I'd love to invest a lot of time in PHP, work requires me to focus more on the front than the back end. I have honestly yet to find any instructor as good as Jeffrey or an educational website as reliable and as high in quality or value as Laracasts.

If such a site exists, is there any equivalent site out there for learning javascript that someone can recommend? One that comes as close as possible to being the front end laracasts? I know a quick google will find lots of sites but I've been using every blog and free / premium tutorial site I could find for the last few years. If there was a kind of reliable one-stop-shop for javascript as much as laracasts is for PHP that would be great.

I'm a little tired of bouncing from one site to the next, hoping that I'll be able to understand the instructor or that their pace is fair or that their ability to take a concept in their mind and clearly transfer it to a student's mind is strong enough. I'm looking for a practical, code editor focused approach to learning, like Jeffrey's.

Thank you. Eoghan

I don't think there's a front end specific (or JavaScript in this case) website, but there are a few which have wide variety of content. Some of them have more javascript than others. Check out this thread.

I believe the best way to learn JavaScript is if you just start a project, watch a lot of tutorials, collect every detail from every tutorial and just use them in your project. That's what I do.

Thank you. I probably should have searched the forum here first before asking my question. That thread seems to be onto something though.

Many thanks!
