Start with the first book of the Essential Path, and after finish it, read the next one. Repeat this process until you finish all books from the Essential Path.
After you complete the Essential Path, you should keep studying! Just choose one book listed in our Additional Resources section. You don't need to read those books in such section in order, you should pick the one that you are more interested! π
PROTIP: try to create and deploy at least one real project after you finish each book.
Project Based
In order to show for everyone that you successfully finished a book, you should create a new project.
"What does it mean?"
After finish a book, you should think about a real world problem that you can solve using the acquired knowledge in such book. You don't need to create a big project, but you must create something to validate and consolidate your knowledge, and also to show to the world that you are capable to create something useful with the concepts that you learned.
The projects of all students will be listed in our JavaScript Projects repository. Submit a pull request with your project's information after you start/conclude it.
You can create this project alone or with colleagues!

@ericdouglas Maybe you could include examples of well done projects.
Is one of the things it's hard to find, so then you could easily learn reading code. And also because the books they don't always show "real life examples".
I briefly went over the index for JavaScript Allonge, and it seems to be more of a general purpose JavaScript text than a functional programming guide. Would it be possible to add a functional programming text that is more focused?
Hi guys :) I'd like to suggest Head First Javascript Programming by Freeman and Robson. It's been very useful to me as a companion book during my Udacity Frontend Nanodegree. In my opinion it's a valid option for the Basic Javascript topic.
Some of the books (paid and free) have free companion sites that are pretty useful. It might be worth adding a column or parenthetical for this. One I know is Secrets of a JavaScript Ninja has live demos at http://ejohn.org/apps/learn/
