I'm going through
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript
now, and I find that topic by topic discussion is not very useful for a newbie like me, even with programmer background.  I click a link and another, and pretty soon I get lost in cyclic sphegatti.  As a newbie, I don't know what's important and what order I should learn.

Do you know a better "tutorial" site for Javascript?  Maybe a book?

Someone mentioned
    https://eloquentjavascript.net/
It's for someone who doesn't have programming background.  Way too wordy for me...
