I use W3Schools but if you want a better experience with learning how to code use https://www.codecademy.com/. This is what I used to learn HTML, CSS and Java. It is much better than W3 in my opinion. Anyway, it took me a couple of weeks to learn all of this. HTML is quite simple and same with CSS, but Java and JS can be a bit tricky. Let me know how Codecademy is if you choose to use it.

I starting with a book, with visual basic, There was a book in my college about programation, and i get it. And i think the best way to learn is with a book. If you see videos on youtube, the time extend becouse the youtuber win money with many videos that your clients see. And they extend te time, for each concepts.
My dad was a programmer and he taught me how to code years ago using Logo (the turtle drawing program). Then I moved from Scratch (MIT's block programming language) to Python to C++ (Arduino boards). I haven't coded anything for some time, but I think I will go back to programming my future humanoid companion friend.
1. the key in every filed is HARD WORKING!
2. after that, you have to use good resources like w3schools.
3. you need learn common knowledge programming first.
4. after you can go to next step and learn every language you want.you should specify your interested filed such as client side, server side and etc.
5. I suggest learn server side languages like as php, node.js and java. they are very usefull!

I personally learned the basics of Java and C in university. I have studied Computer Engineering and learned about software and hardware architecture, programming languages, complilers, libraries and everything in between. My only problem with these studies is that they are extremely theoretical, so you may spend three to five years studying these topics and find yourself not ready for work or not skilled enough.

I learned programming all by myself while researching on the internet. The first programming language that I learned was WML (Wireless Markup Language). It was for java and symbian mobile os like in 2004 to 2009. Soon after that I have learned my other programming languages like html, css, javascript, php, mysql using lynda's video tutorials. Surely it helped me a lot. So now if someone asks me how to learn programming I refer them to lynda.com's video tutorials.

I learned my first language in school, it was easy but you couldn't do much with it.Python is a good language but in school you learn the basics for a long time.In my opinion you should start learning a language from tutorials or alone from maybe threads.Its quicker and more effensive
IT College is never useless. It's a qualification that will be very valuable when you apply for serious IT positions.sompret said:
These days there are many IT specialists who are self-trained with experience, however if there is a choice between two of them and the one has an IT qualification, I'm sure he will have an edge over the other one.
