You are your best resource. I self-taught myself Apex, but also had the help of Trailhead and developer documentation. Try learning from these resources:

https://developer.salesforce.com/page/How_To_Test_Your_Apex_Triggers
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/modules/apex_testing/units/apex_testing_intro

There are also plenty of existing posts on here about writing test classes.

Trailhead is best way to learn

To Create the test class for Trigger you need to follow below step
1) Create Test Data in your case you need to create Account data

Like below 
@isTest 
public class AccountInitiationDateTest 
{
    static testMethod void testMethod1() 
	{
		Account testAccount = new Account();
			testAccount.Name='Test Account' ;
		insert testAccount;
		
		
    }
}
