Is the book of Ilya Kantor enough for employment?

Question

JavaScript

I'm learning JavaScript. I tried different courses (text, video, articles). Tried to read different books. Ignored the book by Ilya Kantor on the advice of an experienced programmer, who claims that the "Modern JavaScript Textbook" is more of a reference book, and not a training book.

But now, months later, I am faced with the fact that not a single course provides clear and structured information - as if everything is mixed together, and more advanced topics do not fit into my head at all.

Looking at the book by Ilya Kantor again, I noticed that there is a clear structure. In this regard, I ask for advice from experienced web programmers: if you focus only on this book, is this information enough to find a job as a junior?

Answer 1

When I got to work as a junior, I didn’t even know a tenth of it. I read it six months later. And when I read it, I got the wildest boost.
But then the reading was superimposed on the already existing experience, and I, chapter by chapter, received really valuable information on how to do what I already did better and faster.
Of course, at the beginning of my career, I also tried to read it, but did not master it.
But in terms of quality, presentation and relevance, this is a top resource. Everything that is missing there can be "finished off" with narrowly focused articles from a medium or personal blogs/YouTube.
Answering the question:
June employment is a lottery. Somewhere you will be humiliated with questions that sometimes seniors do not know the answers to (a case from my practice), somewhere you will be hired simply because there were 15 guest workers in front of you, and you are the first adequate applicant. Each company has its own framework for grades.
But reading Kantor is, of course, such a huge plus and will greatly simplify life. When combined with practice.

Answer 2

Instead of asking, I would take and read
