A good "pure" Javascript 'language' tutorial

NodeSchool https://nodeschool.io/#workshoppers You can even set up learnyounode on a USB stick so someone can learn without needing interwebs. Have done it before.
If you say that getting the money is the most important thing You will spend your life completely wasting your time You will be doing things you don't like doing In order to go on living That is, to go on doing things you don't like doing Which is stupid. - Alan Watts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gXTZM\_uPMY

Is there any good links to learn the core JS fundamentals thoroughly ? Most tutorials online assume everybody wants to learn JS to develop Web. For example W3Schools:
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("demo1").innerHTML = "Hello Dolly!";
document.getElementById("demo2").innerHTML = "How are you?";
}oh, no "document." stuff :doh: That confuses the kids. I just want JS that's used at the backend. i.e Node. But when I search for Node.js based Tutorial they talk all about the libraries and APIs in Node. Like FileSystem, Network and other stuff directly. Not much of JS fundamentals. Is there a site where I can learn JS, the python or C way. Just data structures and fundamentals. This is for my cousin btw.
I used Javascript on the command line to embed it in a library before Node.js was built. Should you need an interactive console in Windows, have a look at MDN's Spidermonkey jsshell: SpiderMonkey: The Mozilla JavaScript runtime - Mozilla | MDN[^] Among the many pages of MDN this one gives a bird's eye view on the basics of the language. A re-introduction to JavaScript (JS tutorial) - JavaScript | MDN[^] Finally, Douglas Crockford was my favorite JavaScript expert: Books By Douglas Crockford[^] and Douglas Crockford's JavaScript[^]

I'm also not speaking for myself, but my uncle's butler thinks that JS just as bad a habit as good old BASIC or PHP were. :-) To answer your question: Just like BASIC or PHP, pure JS has only very underdeveloped I/O capabilities and needs its libraries and frameworks to actually do something without bloating up the code samples to enormous size. Especially those who the samples are written for might not see the forest for all the trees. Only to replace the forest with a nice big swamp of frameworks :-). I'm certainly no friend of JS, but I think you may be out of luck here.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
Ahh, the elaborated language-embedded I/O functions of the Advanced Languages like C, C++ and Pascal in my childhood. Just put a red A letter to the second column of the second row from the top... Also, for a true language integrated query go for Foxpro's scatter/gather commands instead...

Pretty sure they have something on freecodecamp.org but I'm not sure how good it is.

I've found the series by Kyle Simpson https://www.amazon.com/s?k=kyle+simpson+javascript[^] to be very detailed and covering a lot of the fine detail of JavaScript.

I know exactly what you mean and please without jQuery, God forbid React and Angular. This book wold be a nice start. Get the basics of the language (no web).

I'm most of the way through this tutorial. It has a separate section for the DOM. It is amazeballs: https://javascript.info/[^]
