Totally new to programming, What learning resources are your favorites?

I started exploring a few languages on CodeAcademy a few months ago but I want to get more serious about gaining some programming skills. By profession, I'm a Tech Talent Sourcer and I'd like to have an actual grasp on software engineering from experience rather than what I read in job descriptions. I'm doing an intro to HTML and CSS seminar next week with General Assembly and eventually, I think I would like to gain a basic understanding of Javascript and React.js.
