If I can make one recommendation, take a couple lessons from an actual instructor. They will make sure you develop good habits instead of bad habits. I grew up skiing, and snowboarding was pretty foreign to me. I tried a couple times to learn on my own, but then I took 2 lessons and went from falling 2-3 times going down the bunny slope to being able to link turns together and complete 6-7 runs without falling at all. The main advice that made a difference with me was an emphasis on keeping weight on my front foot. It's similar to skiing where you want to keep leaning forward. With both skiing and Snowboarding, when you start to lean back/uphill, you tend to lose a lot of control. My primary rule for skiing and snowboarding instruction is to never take lessons from or give lessons to your significant other. That's a recipe for disaster. :)
