I'll take this opportunity to link to Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby - https://poignant.guide - one of the most unique and inspiring programming language tutorials you'll ever read.

Why's Guide is also pretty fun, but it is definitely a bit non-traditional in terms of programming books: https://poignant.guide/

Tutorials? Probably hands down the best was Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby.

To whatever extent a programming manual can be RS-adjacent, this one is: https://poignant.guide/

WhyTheLuckyStiff wrote the infamous Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby. Just off the top of my head, Why put out a lot of open source projects. People where not kind to his code or him so he deleted all of his repos and moved off of Ruby.

I'm learning Haskell right now, pure functional language, but if anyone is interested, Elm is based on Haskell and much easier to learn. Elm is a web development language that compiles to JS. https://guide.elm-lang.org/

Elm is a different approach that compiles into JavaScript. In the extreme case, you have Emscripten which will compile many language into JavaScript but will feel really clumsy compared to using JavaScript in a lot of cases.

And if you want to stay in the UI realm, Elm is a good introduction into functional programming.

If you want to get better at data structures you should strongly consider learning a functional language. A huge part of functional programming is manipulating data structures. The language Elm is a great place to start for you since it's frontend specific. For example, check out the doc page for the Dict data type and see if that kind of stuff is what you're looking for.

https://guide.elm-lang.org/ for a high level guide, and an unstyled button example https://elm-lang.org/examples/buttons.

I hope this tiny guide was helpful, and that you learned something new today. If you want to learn more about Elm, you should check out the official guide or say hello in the Elm Slack #beginners channel

https://guide.elm-lang.org/ is always a solid example for me

After going through the whole Introductory Guide to the Elm Language and reading the Elm in Action book, I already felt quite comfortable developing webapps in this paradigm. I liked Elm so much that I started a project to teach programming to beginners using this language and made the first classes available on the website elm.dev.br (in Brazilian Portuguese).
