I am a self-taught developer. Some material I used and recommend:

For most of my development I rely on a windows machine with Visual Studio Code and Git Bash. I'd also been working with Linux Mint for a couple of years prior to learning web development and that is a good way to get familiar with the command line and Ubuntu-based servers.
My go-to hosting providers are Digital Ocean (VPS) and Versio (Wordpress), plus Netlify for automated deployment of front-end apps.
Learn Javascript with the open source Modern Javascript Tutorial and the book written by Marijn Haverbeke: Eloquent Javascript: A modern introduction to programming
Udemy courses: 'The Web Developer Bootcamp' and 'The Advanced Web Development Bootcamp' by Colt Steele. Some of the material may be outdated but dealing with outdated packages and unexpected errors without the help of an instructor is a good learning experience.
Learning React: see official docs Thinking in React and Web Dev Simplified by Kyle Cook
For problem solving, inspiration and references use stack overflow, css-tricks.com and Mozilla Developers Network(MDN). Discover front-end design tricks on youtube with Gary Simon (Coursera) and Kevin Powell. For computer science related video's see Computerphile. Engineer Man also has excellent back-end and general programming video's. Finally, Coding Tech will keep you up-to-date with tech conferences from all around the world.
