Thanks for the book suggestions. I've found the courses on those websites are usually aimed beginners though.

Perhaps there really isn't a "deeper" part of JS the same way there is in C++? Maybe I'm asking for something that really isn't there.

What would someone who is considered an expert or "guru" in JS know? :)

He recommended books in his response.

You should be reading JavaScript: The Good Parts.

JavaScript: The Good Parts was published 2008, a lot can change in 5 years. Still worth it today?
