I too am starting out. I've found some decent materials online.
Memrise.com - Free and with app. Amazing way to memorise hundreds of topics. Tracks progress, more like a game, has pronounciation, can learn hirigana, katakana, even hundreds of kanji.
Realkana.com - Free easy to use mobile site. Great flash card style website to really make the kana stick. Has different style of scripts/fonts to look more like handwriting.
WaniKani.com - Free trial, then fees. Haven't tried this one too much, I'm not advanced enough yet I feel.
Anki - May have to pay for this one. Always popular standard flash card program.
As for books, I've started
Genki I: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese I by Eri Banno; it has a lot of beginning material as well as
Remembering the Kanji, Volume I by James W. Heisig. I hear it's never to early to start learning kanji.
That's where I sit currently. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them
