Like any other programming language, JavaScript has both good parts and bad parts. If you want to avoid the bad parts and learn some best practice coding techniques, check out this free course taught by Douglas Crockford, author of JavaScript: The Good Parts.
The book is highly rated for people with intermediate JavaScript skills and was recommended by a Lifehacker reader ductiletoaster in our book review for JavaScript & JQuery.
While the 5-hour online course doesn’t cover everything in the book, the videos are packed with information and advice on programming style, avoiding confusing code, JavaScript history, and more, including problems you can work through on your own.
The free course is available on Pluralsight through a partnership with ITworld. You’ll have to fill out a short registration form (which asks for your basic info plus title) to get access to the course, but if you want to take your JavaScript skills to the next level, this might be the course for you.
