starting out

• Hello World (js.info)
• code structure (js.info)

variables

• javascript.info
• variables & hoisting

functions:

• functions (Guo video)
• MDN
• javascript.info

types & values

• variables & primitive types (Guo video)
• values
• operators & values
• javascript.info
  • types
  • type conversions
  • operators
  • comparison
  • conditionals & ternaries
  • logical operators
  • strings in depth

truthiness & booleaning

• truthiness
• boolean operators
• truthiness statements

operators

• order of operations & coercion: equalities, arithmetic

comparisons

• js.info
• MDN
• === & !== scripts
• equalities & coercion
• == & === tables
• == game

arrays and objects

• arrays: getting started
• arrays: pop/push, shift/unshift
• arrays: native methods
• arrays: mutating vs. non-mutating methods
• Array Cardio with Wes Bos
• objects: getting started
• objects: literals & properties
• objects: dots vs. brackets
• reference vs. values
• advanceder (from js.info)
  • Iterables
  • Object.keys, values, entries
  • Destructuring
• deeper into arrays & objects
  • Native Array Methods
  • Iterables
  • Object.keys, values, entries
  • Destructuring
  • Rest & Spread

scope

• variable scope (Guo)
• jl: block scope
• sitepoint: lexical & block scope
• codeburst: lexical & block scope
• statements vs expressions: one, two. Most simply: if it takes one step in python tutor, it's a statement. If it has an operator, it's an expression. A line of code can be both a statement and an expression

conditionals

• hyf: conditionals
• javascript.info
  • type conversions
  • comparisons
  • conditionals
  • logical operators
• Truthy & Falsey:
  • A video
  • truthiness
  • Deep dive

so many loops!

• So many of them!
• javascript.info
• MDN
• interactive examples
• For's vs While's:
  • StackOverflow
  • TeamTreeHouse
• While vs Do While:
  • Digital Ocean
  • Tutorial GateWay
• performance -> standard for loop

deeper look at execution

• statements vs expressions
  • hexlet
  • dev.to.
  • If it takes one step in python tutor, it's a statement. If it has an operator, it's an expression. A line of code can be both a statement and an expression
• expressions vs. operators
  • Over Views:dev.to, flaviocopes, lib.ru
  • In Depth: MDN, 2ality
  • Assignment vs Comparison: Overview (study with PyTut), This isn't just a JS thing
