Understanding JavaScript and DOM basics before getting lost in frameworks

Hi,

I come from a backend(Services/K8s)/Infra background but going to be taking on managing a couple teams that build web applications and are deep into SPAs, JS frameworks and all the tooling that goes in to support it. Not going to be involved in day to day development but want a deeper understanding on the stack and ecosystem.

My learning style is to start from the basics and then build on top of it. In that vein I would like to understand the fundamentals of how the various front end pieces fit in vs jumping in straight into a opinionated framework like Vue or React. This will help me form a mental model on top of which everything else is built.

I know there is a lot of blogs/articles around HTML, JS, DOM, etc but nothing that I could find which ties everything together. Any good book/source out there that will help me kick of my new learning?
