I would suggest to try freecodecamp.org first.

My process, that I considered very successful, was:

1. Total focus on freecodecamp.org only, until I complete the first certificate (Front End)

2. Start building small, modest projects following tutorials and documentation - I think it is important to build them completely, including making it functional and available, deploying it.

Only after that, I went on to read good books like You Don't Know JS and Eloquent JavaScript.

I think this worked for me because I learn better coding (freecodecamp.org and codecademy.com's code-on-the-browser style) than reading books or watching videos. Also because I was focused on learning to get a job as a web developer (I did!).

If you think this could a be a good path for you, you can read my post "Learning to code" at my personal blog: https://rodrigohgpontes.github.io/

I did the basic JS syntax on fcc. Then took the dive into react, but had a hard time getting it.

I liked your posts and subscribed:)
