Research direction

The issue names javascript.info but no project file, test, or documentation entry point. First inspect the repository’s existing learning references and decide whether this recommendation has a defined place; done should mean the reference is added consistently with the project’s documentation structure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Javascript.info is both a very complete reference, and starts from the very basics, so is friendly to absolute beginners in Javascript. I suggest also that is a more friendly reference for required background knowledge than Crockford's "Javscript the Good Parts" and a better reference than Haverbeke's "Eloquent Javascript". Also it is the only beginner reference I have seen that mentions both debugging and testing! It is as if I have seen a flying pig. After this, there can only be MDN!
