Manning has Build a Web Framework (From Scratch) in its Manning Early Access Program (MEAP):

Web Components are a neat way to have stuff controlled by CSS. But you can forego that and use (BEM-named) values in class attributes.

Even just `document.querySelector` and `.querySelectorAll` gives some idea of vanilla JS. There's also (tongue-in-cheek)

This book for writing Javascript may still be relevant:

Reliable Javascript: How to Code Safely in the World's Most Dangerous Language (2015)

Hmm, code samples are no longer easily available. I would love to share it if Wrox Press (formerly) were cool with it.

And then there's places like Mozilla Developer Network (MDN):

You mentioned backend. With just Node.js, you're technically running vanilla JS there too.

Sign up to a Udemy web-development bootcamp. Take it class by class by class. It won't necessarily be quick. Some things won't work, because things will have changed since the bootcamp was recorded - that's practice onto itself in how to fix things - and the Q&As on Udemy courses are very good for that. Afterwards, sign up to an intermediate course that actually builds a project in a given framework. It doesn't matter which, because once you know one, it's a lot easier to contextualize a different one. Anyhow, the framework doesn't matter, at least not for the first year or two; being able to create and ship something does.
