Hey! Firstly thanks a lot! In regards to learning, there's loads of resources out there, all of them stemming from Google! My advice would be to think of a project you want to do. Find out what technologies/languages are required. For a basic website HTML, CSS and a little JS.

Everytime you run into a problem or don't know what to do, break down what you want to do and google each step. You'll find results from Stackoverflow (a well-run community-driven site), w3schools (basic but useful stuff here), there's plenty of others. There's loads of YouTubers doing all sorts of videos.

The Net Ninja would be great. He does talk a lot, but it's good and useful information. The boring stuff becomes more relevant the more you know

Web development is one of the easiest things to learn! I don't know anything else that has more easily accessible resources.

Also, don't get caught just watching and reading tutorials, DO SOMETHING!

Passion is key!
