Eloquent Javascript[0] is free and online, it starts of with simple concepts but ramps up very fast. Javascript the Good Parts[1] is very solid, albeit a little more advanced and dry. Probably not a beginner book, but one to read after you've built a couple of medium sized projects. I use it as a reference to brush up on certain topics. You-Dont-Know-JS [2] is a free online book series that is a great reference for brushing up on more advanced topics. MDN Reference [3]: this is the best documentation out there. Always have a tab open and try reading the actual documentation on how things work. This will be very hard at first but will allow you to become a very strong developer. I also recommend you avoid https://www.w3schools.com/ https://www.w3schools.com/. Google often puts W3Schools at the top when searching for what a method does, but often times it is out of date or provides technically incorrect information.

Is there any resource that teaches mixed ES5/ES6 for beginners? Either I find some ES5 resources, and I have the feeling to spend my time learning stuff I'll never use by myself. Either I find some ES6 resources that need ES5 knowledge as prior requirements. For example, even some may say I should, I don't wan't to be teached that before, we used "var", and now we use "let". I just want to learn the "let" version.

  I'm writing an ES[latest] series of guides at https://www.writesoftware.org https://www.writesoftware.org on various frontend development topics, all JS-related. It's not yet on par with the other resources listed in this thread obviously, but I always use arrow functions, const and let, avoid semicolons and in general make use of modern JS across all the examples. I did video courses once and I find that they are very hard to update once shipped, and they tend to age pretty quickly, so I went all-in with text content.
