Last time I looked at the JavaScript docs was in the year 1994. I’m looking for recommendations for the “minimum JavaScript and web paradigms” educational course to make me confident in writing Elm and ports.

I’ve felt so hampered in my Elm work because I don’t understand the DOM, and I don’t know what I don’t know. ☹

My employer will be paying. 😃

**MDN** has a curriculum with many different core modules, such as [JavaScript Fundamentals](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/curriculum/core/javascript-fundamentals/). I think that’s a good starting point.
