Care to help a soul

Hi guise! Well Im not happy with current job, so a friend of mine suggested since I love being in front of a monitor and read with no mercy all day, that I should be working as a programmer. So reading a little about the subject I decided to develop first a good ability in html/css/jscript. Make some money as web developer and then go to real programming language.
So my question is, where is the best place, best ebook, best video course on html?
I know the most basic of programming logic (if, while, variables).
Thanks in advance for your precious time.
