There are courses about programming on e.g. Udacity or Coursera (for some money) with god structure and feedback.
There are meetings to learn programming that you can find online (e.g. meetup.com). My city is not that large and still has one that meets every week.
Practise. A lot. You can't learn programming just from books (you can still read books).
Start with small problems, such as e.g. the ones on Hackerrank. If you get stuck, search Google (you'll probably get to StackOverflow).
Move on to building something you like that's not too hard (and put it on Github). E.g. automate some task, build a simple website, make Game of Life or Pong. Don't make World of Warcraft or a compiler or something else too hard.
If you've got a budget, you can use codementor.io for one-on-one mentoring when you're really stuck on some things.
Personal opinion that others might object to: don't do certificates unless there's a useful course attached; many certificates are a bad use of your time and teach useless facts instead of skills.
