Could you please not post snarky dismissals to this site? We're trying for better than that here.

I'm sure you're also trying for better content. I'll continue to embrace my displeasure for posts like these, thank you very much.

Counterpoint, I wish there were more resources for new languages that assume you already know how to program.

Professional Javascript for Web Developers[1] is a favorite of mine, because it doesn't waste time teaching you to program and teaching you the language. Instead it points out things that will surprise you if you come from C-like languages, and things you need to watch out for.

Now, since I effectively learned to program in C and later C#/Java, ___ for node developers isn't what I'm after, especially if it spends a bunch of time talking about static typing or fixed size arrays and such. But if you're going the opposite way as I did, learning the high level and transitioning to the low level, something like that could be very useful indeed.
