While I understand that people are different and all have their preferences it is best to go to school to learn something (whether the school is online or not - doesn't matter). You will be ta;lking to teachers and peers, do the homework (which means easy exercises) to prove that you learnt something and finally acquire some connection which will help you along the way. And what can you learn by reading the WiKi article mentioned if you don't know how to use them properly (without practicing them)? BTW, I'm also a self-taught developer, but I did it a long time ago in school and there were people that helped me understand all those books we had and I did some exercises.
