w3schools is a great resource for learning code.
HTML5 would be good to learn, I haven't looked much into it but it seems pretty damn powerful.
Javascript is a lot of fun to learn to, you can do some cool stuff with it. The Date objects are awesome and powerful.
Also, regular expressions, or regex, have been the single most powerful coding tool I've learned to use recently. It's a way to analyze data very efficiently, and can parse virtually any format of input.
As far as this forum goes, just look up BBCode. I think it stands for bulletin board code, and was designed specifically for forums.

One place that I have used for years is WebMonkey. They have some good cheat sheets and tutorials that I have found useful. I have also used youtube and searched for specific things. A lot of what we use in the posts is bbcode so you can search for that too.

Adding to what jivex said, I would also recommend Googling BBCode. It is pretty much the standard for posting on web forums. Also, when in doubt, you can use the Full Editor when making posts, and click on the buttons to generate code bases for what it is you're trying to post. Making them work is as simple as filling in the string of information it needs (a URL from a link, image, etc., a hexadecimal number for a color code...)
