My advice is to find a solid and a bit lengthy material (either a online course, a book, or a long YouTube tutorial crash course) and just stick with it from top to bottom.

There are two reasons: 1) the quality and 2) the mentality. In my opinion, those materials have far better qualities to give you a solid foundation for furthering your knowledge in the future. They are better structured. Thus, instead of independent concepts spreading around the Internet, following along the materials will help you construct concepts on top of each other and you'll be able to link one from another. Also, it's a great practice of perseverance to follow along a lengthy task, which I think it's a common thing in the coding world.
