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.

- oei829ejenk3 9y agoI know it’s not a popular opinion with some, but all code looks like to me anymore is math with whatever symbols the language in question needs to work For example: (singleton) (tu,ple) def func1(singleton): def func2(tu,ple): ^ python function declarations So after 20 yrs of this, I try to keep in mind the math and just look up the bits to wrap it in. Also, I avoid custom frameworks and all this industry react/angular, or whatever is cool like the plague, by avoiding front end for a while now But I do consulting which affords me the luxury. Many may not have the flexibility. I’ve a set of macros in vim to scaffold boiler plate and go from there Boom, programming in any language
