A lot has changed since I first began teaching myself HTML in the 90s and later on PHP around 2006. For HTML back in the day I would simply take a sites existing HTML and modify it to my liking. Today, if I am designing something (since I'm not a designer) I often find some sites doing UI things I like and rebuild them. Then I started seeing CSS appear around the late 90s and early 2000s, so I had to learn something new, but it was just copying and modifying. This will be harder today with how things have changed, but its still possible. When I wanted to learn PHP some 10 plus years ago I grabbed a book from the library and went through all the examples. I typed the examples by hand, modified them and what not. After a month or two I got to the point where I could build my business idea. From there it was Google and message boards for answers. When I started learning Python a few years ago I also took the library book approach. I like free. There are so many more resources today, but things have gotten so much more complex. Keep it simple. Stick to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for now. You don't need SASS, webpack or anything fancy and confusing out of the gate. All that stuff will just make you feel under water, heck even I feel under water with whatever new wizbang stuff is out. The biggest thing is to build something that will keep you interested. Build a site about a hobby you have or a business idea. It will make things more fun and keep you motivated. Make it less homework and more a hobby. I would also suggest meetup.com.
