Like all aspiring Javascript programmers, I spend a lot of time online searching for answers to my newest problems. Unfortunately, quite a lot of pages dedicated to answering questions assume a certain level of knowledge that I have yet to achieve. They use terminology that I will probably learn in school but it's not something the average DIY programmer will automatically be familiar with. Even W3Schools is guilty of this, and they are supposed to be the one place people begin to learn web development.
I've also browsed half a dozen JS books and most have the opposite problem: half the book is dedicated to useless document.write examples that no one will ever use in the real world. How about a book or website for people who are intelligent but don't know developer-speak, people who want to solve real-world problems without needing to wade through worthless examples of newbie JS functionality? I'm a smart guy, show me the appropriate tool for the job and how to use it correctly. That's all I want!
I've been keeping a cheat sheet of what I've learned so far. Who knows, I could eventually turn it into something more, something others might benefit from.
