How is it more convenient to classify (outline) what you have learned?
Hello.
I am self-taught in web development through various online courses, podcasts, books, etc.
I would like to somehow organize all this information and bring it into a summary broken down by topic / stage.
Perhaps there are some proven services for this kind of cases, or are there offline programs / methods?
A notebook with a pen and a notepad with .txt is certainly good, but a little different.
Perhaps evernote will do or is there something more convenient?

For many years I have been very successful in solving a topic issue using OneNote
I have a proven way to make a mind map, it is structured and easy to remember. In general, in one post it is very difficult to explain what a powerful thing, mind maps, if you are interested in tools, then use XMind, its capabilities are enough for me. Personally, I use them for studying at the university and for self-study, it helps to structure information very well.
You need mostly practice, not notes. Use gist.github.com for small snippets. The projects in which you worked should also be saved, as there may be similar tasks in the future.
For the rest - official references, documentation and Google.
Here, pay attention to both the diagram and the service.

From the very beginning of self-study, I began to use https://evernote.com/intl/ru/ And the tool suits me at the moment, it is very convenient. I can't even imagine how I could have done without it. There are various manuals for use. Keeping notes manually, writing in notepad, OneNote, etc. is not even close.
To do in practice, remember, get a skill. If the new info is quite simple, for example, it just concerns one function that you haven’t used before, then just remember it. If it's something more complicated... then save a copy to the same github or to the cloud so that you can always return.
Yesterday I studied how blocks are made on sites at an angle, I found an article, repeated it myself, figured out which line of code does what. Now I will try to implement this in one of the following sites. Then I will get rid of the copy of the lesson, if necessary, I will look at the source of the site.
For a long time I tried to collect my collection of css pieces, js / jquery plugins, and some other developments, but new versions are constantly coming out ... It's more convenient to just keep the names in mind and search every time) And you can always look at the sources of your past works .
Notebook - that's it.
Highlight the headings with color and add practice. The result will not keep you waiting.
I created a "training" folder in it, I created folders with the names of what I learned or wanted to test in practice (make a microprototype) like "01-14_07_2013_html_test" or "666-17_09_2015_asinc_load_js"
inside we create the necessary files (that work), do not skimp on comments, explain to yourself.
As a result, we have a database of interesting solutions (you can call it a bike park or a collection of elite crutches). And everything seems to be written down and everything seems to be assimilated.
I recommend using some kind of cloud service for storing documents so that you can make a record at any time. This is extremely important, because it happens on the road or somewhere else that you learn new information and it would be desirable to write it down right away, so that you can study it in more detail later. And in terms of note-taking, pay attention to the Cornell method. For example, here , there is some description of it + you can watch the video , well, or just google about it - there is a lot of material.
sip something using what you have learned) the more features you put in, the better)
