Good starting point, . is right that free online material works well, and 's suggestion to use tutorials is sound — but since the web has changed a lot since 2011, here is a compact, practical path that moves from basics to building real sites.

  1. Solid HTML and accessibility: learn semantic tags, proper form markup, and basic ARIA so content works for everyone.
  2. Modern CSS: master the cascade, specificity, Flexbox and Grid, responsive techniques (media queries) and custom properties. Avoid learning layout with floats as a primary technique.
  3. JavaScript fundamentals: ES6+ syntax, DOM APIs, event handling, Promises/async, and Fetch. Build functionality in vanilla JS before reaching for frameworks.
  4. Tooling and workflow: use browser DevTools, a good editor (VS Code), Git/GitHub, and a basic package manager (npm). Learn how to inspect network calls and debug scripts.
  5. Projects and deployment: make small, focused projects (landing page, blog template, todo app), then deploy to GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel to learn the full flow.
  6. Quality checks: linting, simple automated tests, accessibility checks and Lighthouse audits to spot performance or SEO problems.

Recommended references: the MDN Web Docs for up-to-date API and spec guidance, freeCodeCamp for structured hands-on exercises, and Eloquent JavaScript for deeper JS understanding. For readable book options, consider Jon Duckett’s HTML/CSS and JS books, Kyle Simpson’s "You Don’t Know JS" series, and a UX intro like "Don’t Make Me Think."

Practical cautions: avoid jumping into React/Vue/Angular before mastering fundamentals; watch for outdated tutorials (table-layouts or jQuery-only patterns) and prefer current documentation. Use small projects to practice and read other people’s code — that combination gives the fastest, safest progress.

More than a book you should probably start with the w3c schools website , that's a good start. Then move to other online tutorial like http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/ and maybe have a look at David Flanagan books:
-JavaScript Pocket Reference, 2nd Edition
-jquery pocket reference
hope this helps
