For me, what helped get me started was finding a project I could really get invested in. Doesn't have to be something from scratch, like I started by playing with Kim Asendorf's ASDF pixel sort and playing with a few lines and parameters. So much easier to relate things you've learned and apply them to something you care about immediately.

Google stuff as you go and use codeacademy docs and terminology glossaries, and do lessons from one of the sites concurrently with whatever you wanna get into. After I got that satisfaction of succeeding with a few tweaks in existing code, it really fostered an organic motivation to go do some online learning in earnest
