    In addition to the MDN information (their reference pages are definitive), https://www.freecodecamp.org/ isn't bad, and https://www.w3schools.com/ has a lot of free tutorials and references. For the raw javascript programming side, https://eloquentjavascript.net/ is pretty good and has exercises in the text (it's good enough that MDN links to it).

    Once you're comfortable with HTML, that would be a good time to come back and ask for more direction. As an aside though, definitely get vscode - it's nearly essential in modern web dev.
