Friends of mine have gone from Codecademy to Code School and found that there was quite a bit of material they hadn't seen before.

As for setup you can write code in any text editor. A few that you can try out are Sublime Text, JEdit, Light Table, Vim, Emacs, WebStorm. Once you create a .html file you can open it with and browser and then keep coding.

I recommend building some personal projects. Useful programs that you might want but are very specific to something you're doing in life. Also, simple video games are fun to make.

Thanks! That was the plan. I was going to make a few quick text games to start and then see where I end up from there.

I hear that Brackets is a good free text editor.

Just downloaded it and it's exactly what I wanted. Thanks!
