The ultimate book on the subject is in my opinion https://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Definitive-Guide-Activate-Guides/dp/0596805527[^]

Young enough to know I can.
Old enough to know I shouldn't.
Stupid enough to do it anyway!

he Definitive Guide has been the bible for JavaScript programmers—a programmer's guide and comprehensive reference to the core language and to the client side JavaScript APIs defined by web browsers.

Sounds good Smile | :)

If you're still looking, add "vanilla js" to your Google queries. That might filter down the results a bit to more relevant pages.

You may come across the Vanilla JS site. It might not be obvious at first, but it's pretty much tongue-in-cheek.

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.

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'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.

Sure thanks for the reference. I'll get one Smile | :)

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).

The Principles of Object-Oriented JavaScript: Zakas, Nicholas C.: 9781593275402: Amazon.com: Books And don't worry about the "Object-Oriented" in the title.

Reintroducing JavaScript, a free chapter from a book: Appendix D. Reintroducing JavaScript · Getting MEAN with Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node Livebook

Learn JavaScript: The Hard Parts -- Dive Deep into JavaScript to Solve Complex Challenges

bind and this - Object Creation in JavaScript P1 - FunFunFunction #43 - YouTube

Higher-order functions - Part 1 of Functional Programming in JavaScript - YouTube And don't worry about the "Functional" in the title.

On the net search for articles by this guy https://tylermcginnis.com/ultimate-guide-to-execution-contexts-hoisting-scopes-and-closures-in-javascript/ He has the ability to discuss technical matters without throwing hipster abbreviations at you.

I'm ready to upgrade from an old, old version of InstallShield Express and I was wondering if anyone has any stories, good or bad about InstallAware, a cheaper competitor?

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Seems relatively unknown, I added it to the list of installers here: https://www.slant.co/topics/4794/~installers-for-windows-programs[^]
Maybe users will add their recommendation or comments (can take a while $Shucks | :-\$ )

Not in this list, but I readily recommend SetupBuilder from https://www.lindersoft.com. I have been using this product but for many years. Easy to configure and their tech support is phenominal.

I've used Inno Setup before. It's free and worked well for what I needed it to do.
