Definitely looking at docs is a good way to learn.
But if your more of a visual learn or like having a guide use a website like CodeAcademy.
While you say you don't want to spend money on treehouse, I completely endorse using some sort of paid tutorial like that maybe even something on Udemy.
Personally for me to get into web development I did lots of self taught stuff like code academy and udemy. After I became a bit more serious about it I took a web development bootcamp which was the best decision as it's purely focused on teaching you code and how to learn code.

Truthfully, these certificates aren't worth anything and definitely won't help you find a job.
Online courses are a good starting place to get a little programming experience, but if you're serious about getting into the field, consider going to a proper school for it.

Usually I would agree that the online certificates don't get you jobs, but there are employers that hire people specifically from free code camp. They do so because unlike codeacdemy this free code camp is very thorough and each of the courses are 400 hours long.

Maybe so, but the truth is in the numbers.

Established: 906days ago
Registered: 900,000+campers
Active: 400,000+campers each month
Completed: 30,843,661challenges
More than 5,000 campers have gotten their first developer jobs.
More than 6,000 experienced developers have gotten even better developer jobs.
So for 400,000 active monthly users, only about 11,000 of them have gotten jobs. That's less than 3% of their active users.
For reference, assume your graduating class is 800 people. That means only 24 of those people would have jobs after school. Not very confidence inspiring, is it?
Like I said, I don't doubt that a site like this might help you get a head start on some programming skills, but the probability of it landing you a job is almost zero. You'd be better off applying your time and effort towards a real degree.

Very good field to get into. Online resources are a huge part of being a web developer, constantly searching online references. Even professionals use online references because there is more and more you learn everyday. I would highly recommend taking a Udemy course and courses on the watered down sites like Codecademy.com. Although they only scim across the surface of web development they do a very good introduction job. However, I highly recommend getting books on web development such as on HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery and then you can start getting into more back end frameworks and technologies as you go. I enjoy having a paper copy that I can highlight and mark up as I read. Just get yourself a text editor and start learning. Take your time and have fun!

I learned the bulk of my HTML/CSS skills from online tutorials and Udemy courses. Udemy has dozens of paid courses, but you can always find free courses on these topics that are straightforward and worthwhile.
In addition, they have tons of other courses on other languages/topics that could be of interest to you. Some of the premium ones are put on sale frequently, or you can simply look up coupons that will get you them for free (I have never paid for a course but I have numerous $200+ courses I got for free). It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.
Another option would be to take a course from a school/university, as there are numerous online courses that cover these two languages and much more of the Web-Dev scene.
Best of luck in your quest for knowledge!
