Most of these are free resources, because, yeah, I'm broke. And I haven't gotten started on a lot of them yet, because I haven't been doing this for very long (I started taking this seriously in May 2017, so...yeah). But I'm having a lot of fun so far, so I'm making a list of the resources I'm using.
Since I'm not formally taught, I have a LOT of work ahead of me. Once I feel proficient enough in Python and HTML/CSS, I'm probably going to tackle JavaScript or Ruby.
