I wish to have a quickly updating work area so to be able to learn my LaTeX faster.
From reviewing the answers on tex.stackexchange, and from going through the list of TeX editors on Wikipedia – I understand that no (free) editor (on Windows) to date can offer live preview of how my TeX code will look. That is except LyX, but it doesn't allow my to write TeX code, but to only see what LyX produces.
A reasonable compromise for me would be to get a live preview of how just a small snippets of TeX code will look like.
I found one such solution online on codedogs.com. Are there any other recommended solutions? (online or for the desktop)

TeXstudio has this feature of snippet preview inlined right in your source. I find it very useful. It can do live preview updates too, I think, but this wasn't always working for me. Plus it's a free software (as in beer and freedom) and multiplatform.
