Getting started is definitely the hardest part because there is a lot of information out there. A lot of it will be hard to grasp, but I think if you find one thing that doesn't work, try another. The point is to just start doing something. One thing to keep in mind is that learning is not linear. You're going to hit some plateaus, followed by brilliant epiphanies, followed by more plateaus.
My advice is to focus on learning some of the fundamentals first that can be applied to multiple technologies. I try to do this with my own site to teach development. Technologies will come and go, but there are some core principles that stick around. Obviously there will be some specific technology that you need to learn in order to apply anything, but I give this advice to let you know that the specific technology you learn in won't matter. Too many people ask "what programming language should I learn" when they don't understand enough to make that decision (and they will be hounded by multiple pieces of conflicting advice).
You should also checkout Automating the Boring Stuff with Python. I've heard some really great things about it. It's not web development, but I think learning to code should come before web development concepts. It'll be easier to understand web development once you have a stronger understanding of programming. Free Code Camp is also popular and does focus on web development.

Pitch: There are plenty of people who work on software products, but are not developers. They have a lot of uncertainty around the decisions they have to make because many technical concepts in software development seem like magic. Professor Beekums de-mystifies those concepts for everyone.
Are you looking for anything?: I would love to know what you think! Did the lessons teach you anything? Would you share with your friends?
