Py4E (can be taken through FreeCodeCamp if desired) goes pretty in-depth into Python. 

There is also PostgreSQL for Everybody: https://www.pg4e.com/ SQL commands can be quite different, depending on whether you're using PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. but the essentials are more or less universal. 
Django is a framework that uses Python. You can learn how to use it here: https://www.dj4e.com/
Web Applications for Everybody teaches Python, MySQL, JQuery, and Handlebars: https://www.wa4e.com/
Web Design for Everybody seems to be more about HTML. https://www.wd4e.com/
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

Thank you Rachel. Will probably start the Py4E based on your info after SQL.

Thank you MNomadic because the Murder Mystery game just sounds cool! Will start that soon!

If anyone is interested I looked at a 4 hr. SQL video by Free Code Camp, and it was very interesting and helpful. It also made a lot of sense. Some of the other videos had speakers that were a bit hard to understand, but this video was very good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXV3zeQKqGY

What are you wanting to learn? I personally prefer using R for data analysis and Python for Machine Learning. I have never used C++ or Java but those languages are rarely, if ever, taught in business analytics programs which is why.
