Call me old-fashioned, but I feel experts are the best place to start when exploring a new discipline for the first time. They've exhausted all the material, know what's accessible to a beginner and what isn't, know which texts are worth reading and which aren't (naturally a little more contentious in philosophy, although that comes with the territory), and can help clarify what you read. Without an expert's guidance, you're just diving into random source material, relying on weak online resources, and trying to piece together a complex picture with limited tools to work with.
