Since you mention concise, I'll jump in with my JavaScript tutorials series https://flaviocopes.com/javascript/ - I try to condense information in a useful way, kind of following the 80/20 rule.

Use TypeScript, it has come a very long way since it was released. It tracks very closely to JavaScript and it has an active community, shared types for libraries, and great editor support (VSCode and others). Using maximum strictness and tslint you can pretty much vaporize most of the bugs that Crockford warned about without even running your code.
