i just want to have some advice of what to do and what to read(offline/ebooks)to learn and at the end master javascript

I'm no master at all or expert :) yes, go with w3 first and then on "what to do", try to work on a project of yours... then plan, code with future in mind. If you create a code to detect a character, try to build one who can detect "ANY" character, I mean a function, that's something you can resue in the future, then you will be building a set of useful tools and functions on your own that will help you.

I don't like frameworks but I understand they are useful. Use them, or try not to!, but what I really think is, it is better to LEARN javascript than to "learn" how to use a framework... JS has rules and is more like a language than what frameworks use. Sometimes things might not work as you want and then, if that happens, frameworks will do nothing for you... but if you trully learn JS you can find ways to do what on a moment wasn't working.

Read, learn, try, test. Like... there is a great difference on loops "while X<Z.length" than using "x<5", or using loops going reverse, to ZERO. And try to avoid memory consumming techniques, it matters when you are working on something big.

Many things can be understood by "going critical" but one thing I know for sure is you create a habit and then when a lot of things are important you might pay the price for having bad coding habits. Experiment and choose a project for you, something you like, that will take the most out of you in fun ways. Good luck.
