Are you mad? Where the heck are you going to get enough PPE to protect you from JS?

I just have to ask my former employer. They had me running around in such a suit an entire summer long, measuring radiation, decontaminating trucks and other such nice activities.
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.

So that's why some of the the raiders wear welding goggles, even at night! Damn! Now you have brought me to dig out that game again. Skyrimk with guns. With a new character. Little Mary Sue has just found that old power armor suit plus minigun and given the raisers what they deserve. Power armor protects you from everything: Fallout 4 Power Armor vs Raiders - YouTube[^]

You mean back to coding the dark screen CLI ? 
Hehe, my cousin wanted to escape programming and wanted to pursue management degree. But because of the lockdown things changed and now he's desperate for any job. What we have mostly is technical jobs with low pay. So he's gonna learn the stuff.

There was one on Microsoft Virtual Academy, taught by Bob Tabor, which taught Javascript using just the Visual Studio Code console, without the need to open a web-page. 30 or 31 videos in all. Not finding them online now. Have downloaded all those videos and they are on my hard disk (downloaded sometime in 2018).
Check if you can find these videos by Bob Tabor on 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 searched for a core JS tutorial for a while, I couldn't find so I asked him to start with Python for now. Though my preference would have been C to start with.
Python is more famed so he's starting with it and the idea is to compare each code exercise with JS equivalent.

C always is a good choice. Unfortunately both my C compiler and the emulator can't keep up with the hardware I have been building, so I'm roughing it with assembly.

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...

scatter/gather - I have not seen (used) that in a long time.
I recently referred to zap & pack with one of our DBA types - no, they did not know whence it came, are but children.

Personally, I learned JavaScript from JavaScript Succinctly[^] (and then applying it in my job).
Back in the day you needed to create a (free) Syncfusion account to download the books.
I think you can read it all online without an account now.
They have a similar book on Node.js: Node.js Succinctly[^].
What I like about the succinctly series is that they are, well, succinct.
About 100 pages a book, but often less.
If you do decide to create an account and give them your real phone number, they do call you for marketing purposes although I've never found them to be annoying or pushy.
I gave them my real phone number because I write for them as well so they'd know I'm lying anyway 
Then there's Learning JavaScript Essentials by Addy Osmani[^].
Another free ebook (no registration required) explaining common patterns in JavaScript.
It's a long read and you won't need a lot of it, but I'd recommend checking out the Constructor pattern, Module pattern, Revealing Module pattern, the AMD and CommonJS patterns and the JavaScript Namespacing patterns.
Those are very much used patterns and I've found them to make the difference between a good and a bad JavaScript programmer.

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  . thanks

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.
