A developer Newbie - How do I progress and learn to code?

Hi all

So I have been a Salesforce admin for a while and still learning but really need to start getting my head around the fundamentals of coding within salesforce.  I have created numerous custom apps with workflows, different views and record types along with creating visual force pages with flows but no coding.

I live in NYC what should I start to learn and how.  I would benefit from an actual class to attend so I can ask quesitons relevent to my needs but I am not sure which courses or language is best to learn.  Any help or known courses would be much appreciated.

I too am a newbie and live outside NYC.  I haven't taken a class but have gotten help from http://www.SFDC99.com.  Also, trying to read Head First Java but its tough.  I basically can do SOQL queries and can create controller pages from them, but again very basic.  I certainly am far from grasping Apex/Java.  Trailhead is also helpful.  Let me know any resources you find!
