I keep recommending https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web but previously you wrote you learn python. So tutorials for python+web like https://docs.djangoproject.com/ are better. Don't be discouraged by slow learning, you essentially learn 3-5 languages and 100 concepts and every developer started from zero.
After that, I'd recommend the Coursera course Learning How to Learn as pre-work.
3 free resources I highly recommend:
- Harvard's CS50. Cannot recommend this highly enough.
- MIT's Intro to Programming w/ EdX. Great way to learn more about problem solving
- FreeCodeCamp: Great directed resource for a path to learn front end development. There's so much information out there that it's helpful to have some guidance.
