I'm in the same position as you. I realised I was still writing spaghetti code that relied heavily on DOM manipulation with Jquery. I am currently learning how the language has evolved and the following has been helpful —

1. https://javascript.info/

2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxAXlJEmNMg (videos, watch all of them)

3. http://jstherightway.org/

4. http://eloquentjavascript.net/

Hope this helps :)

Thanks that's great :D I discovered JQuery a while back and it's been fun to use at work for simple dashboards - i.e. Build Status Page / Tests etc, but I figured that trying to keep track of all the DOM changes in a larger project would be a bit of a pain, so excited to learn some new stuff and the 'proper' way to do things.
