I would use online resources to keep learning and create some side projects since it sounds like you don't have much job experience yet. Contributing to open source projects or being active on sites like Stack Overflow will help you learn too. You may think that you can't really teach with little experience, but even if you're 3-6 months in you have things to teach to beginners. Paid sites like Treehouse, Codecademy and the like will be higher quality and let you focus more than free online tutorials, but it's certainly not required.
I wouldn't focus on only what is in demand right now, take a longer view for your career. It's the thinking and planning behind programming that is really valuable, not whatever programming language is popular at the moment. Those problem solving skills will pay off in the long run more than being an expert in say, Javascript. Ask why and what you are building, not just how to do it.
