What works for me is to look for some information on every new name that pops up a few times.
For instance:
If I've seen MEAN mentioned a few times, I find some information about it on Wikipedia, on some blog, and depending on my interest maybe I look for something on YouTube. Only to the point to have an idea of what that is and how it relates to something I already know, so I can store it somewhere in my memory.
Say that sometime later I see LAMP and I don't know what that is. Then I repeat the process again and I see that it's just another software stack, like MEAN, so I can relate them in my memory.
Make It Stick is a great book with many techniques like this. There's also an audio book version.
Apart from this, reading the programming forums in Reddit, reading Hacker News, and listening to programming podcasts helps to understand better the concepts and the whole software development environment. At the very beginning there are lots of concepts that you don't understand, but slowly they start to make sense.
The more concepts you understand the easier it becomes to understand new ones.
I'm going through Eloquent Javascript but they don't even touch the DOM until Chapter 12 (I'm on 5.) Our current textbook is (admittedly) horrible. I'll take a look at the later chapters to see if they cover defining events in the script versus within the HTML tags, but the project specifically asked for an onclick event called from within a button element, so that's the way I wrote it.
I was thinking about purchasing this as a reference. I have a copy in ePUB format but I'd like to have a paper copy. With ECMA 6 right around the corner I'm wondering if I should hold off on buying a physical copy until it's updated to cover the new features.
I'm currently working with an online group that is working through EJ here.
Thanks again for the feedback!
Read web components in action . And then go for react since it gives more chances to get hired OR check what framework the company you want to be hired to is asking you to know .
I was also planning on buying this book https://www.amazon.com/HTML-CSS-Design-Build-Websites/dp/1118008189
