fleeced Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Hi, I am at a bit of a crossroads in my career and am considering going full time into web development. For over 5 years I have always had a great interest in oscommerce and would love to work setting up ecommerce sites for others full time eeither in a job or a new business. I have managed to self teach myself in most of the following but only to a basic level and am now looking to step it up now. I was considering learning the following in this order 1)HTML 2)CSS 3) PHP 4) MySQL 5) Javascript Anyone any suggestions in learning for a career in web development ie. Lynda.com, Books, Courses? Is it worth me spending a lot of time trying to become a oscommerce with the project running so slow and others Magento, Prestashop coming on so fast? Are there any other web technologies worth learning or focusing on the most ASP, C#, Ajax etc? Any suggestions and help most welcome Thanks :)

It's the only way you'll learn by doing stuff hands on. Books and courses will only teach you so much. I would develop some sites for fun, then build up a portfolio of your work. Then take it from there.
