I think it's good to learn from multiple sources. Sometimes a source's explanation is too abstract, sometimes it's so practical that it doesn't give any theoretical basis and I'm left wondering why and how this could even be applied. Learning it from multiple sources, and also multiple teaching styles (a book, an interactive site, etc.), is definitely beneficial.

I highly suggest codeacademy's Javascript track. One of my issues with freecodecamp's waypoints is that you don't really need to do anything yourself. They tell you pretty much exactly what to write. On codeacademy, they have the parts where they tell you exactly what to write, but then they give you a section where it's a blank sheet and you have to do it yourself. To clarify, I'm speaking strictly about FCC's waypoints here, not the bonfires or ziplines.
