A continuation of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13660086 which has been incredibly useful to me.

I recently finished this phenomenal book called "Building Enterprise JavaScript Applications":

Which takes the reader from zero to building a non-trivial production fullstack application with JavaScript. I also recommend "Building Git". The title is self-explanatory:
