I use tutorials point. It’s very reliable and up to date
Sometimes I use repl for practice

Starting from scratch
Starting from scratch can obviously be a little more intimidating, but there are also some great resources out there that can help you get started for yourself! First let’s look at some of the tool-sets that exist out there.
Twine - Want to start with just some text? Twine is a text based game creation system that lets you create interactive fiction.
Stencyl - Provides a way to make simple games without the need for any code. It offers a relatively intuitive drag and drop system that can get you up and running pretty quickly.
Game Maker - A great, flexible, starter tool. As with any toolset it can be overwhelming to start with a blank page, but thankfully there are some great tutorials out there. We will get to that in a bit!
RkePG Mar - Makes a very specific type of game, but it does that pretty well! If you aspire to creating something JRPG inspired than this is a good option.
Construct - Easy to start development tool with browser based options. Currently on it’s third incarnation and well supported with tutorials.
Swift Playgrounds - More a way to learn coding in a fun way than specifically how to make games, but it uses making games as a way of learning to code, so some double value going on here!
Unity - The go to creation platform for indie developers. Has a higher learning curve, but also a much higher ceiling. You can ultimately make professional offerings with Unity, and it has an extremely active development community.

I happen to be using game maker studio 1.4 for my current project and it works like a charm.
Not exactly sure about game maker Studio 2 but gms has a great documentation/manual.
One thing I like about GMS than other engines is that when you high light a code snippet in the tutorial or project. Click the mouse wheel and it brings up the documentation up for you along with the gml code you want to learn. And this is not in other engines which I think makes Game maker studio very unique.
yes i like it.
