I have been learning xhtml and css for over 15 days now.
I learnt the theoretical part and applied that info in creating small webpages.
I want to progress in the right direction, so all the dears on BHW what should I do next?
Practise it for few more days or start learning basics of Javascript?
Or do both?
My goal is to become a good developer, good enough so that I can create my own good looking websites.
This is a webpage I made using only xhtml and css.
Your answers would be very helpful guys in letting me know how good I am doing.
The guy in the youtube recommends that I learn JS now, then CSS3 html5. What do you think guys?
Do let me know how good or dumb the webpage is
Thanks ya'll

Now, Javascript and you'll be able to tackle simple frontend projects. If you just want to do Front-end, that must be enough for basic stuff and you can move onto Framework of your choice for front-end design. If you wanna do Full Stack, you need to learn SQL or something along the lines of RDBMS, and server side language of your choice (popular choices are PHP, MEAN stack, Django, or RoR).

Good practise is to learn JS now, after that PHP for sure :)
Thanks guys!
I read in the forums that learning javascript just enough and learning a particular framework extensively helps, is that right?
 
Do both. Practice XHTML and CSS alongside learning JavaScript. And then do all of them alongside learning PHP.
 
don't learn frameworks of JS first, learn vanilla JS and code using it and once you feel you are good at it, you can opt for frameworks, that way it will be easy and you will have a strong base.

I just read vanilla JS is also a framework, so you say that the benefit is I can learn my chosen framework(like React.JS) easily.
IS it just that or there are other benefits?
Thanks man!
Edit: I went to the vanilla-js.com website and now learnt that website's intentions are sarcastic/humorous. Now got the meaning of Vanilla JS
 
Id say learn basics of JS and PHP then jump into wordpress and keep learning JS and PHP as u go, that way u get to create great sites while learning.
 
Vanilla JS means unmodified JS or without any framework. To be more clear, learn pure JS without any framework and Mozilla docs are a great resource.
 
You don't really have to bother with vanilla JS anymore, most modern JavaScript frameworks (like React and Vue) use ES6 and ES7 these days.
 
JavaScript is good for the next steps.
Where did you learn html and css by the way?
 
Do both. Practice XHTML and CSS alongside learning JavaScript. And then do all of them alongside learning PHP.
Also it's good if you master(command-line, git, and text editor"Sublime text").You should learn PHP+MySql+Apache,
Ruby, Ruby_On_Rails maybe Python.
For designing purpose CSS3,Bootstrap... and Photoshop.

You can find tons of tutorials on tutorialspoint.
Btw best way to learn in my option is reverse-eningeering.
Also you may want to try make some simple games with HTML5canvas+Js or with Phaser(to practice Js in fun way). Anyway good luck and be cool!
 
I would really learn bare Javascript, make a few real web pages with it, and then switch to using something like React or Vue. You could jump into making web pages with React/Vue but you would be missing the context for why those frameworks exist.
 
Thanks ya'll
Best of luck guys in your journeys
 
I don't think you're ready for JS yet.
15 days to learn the HTML / CSS isn't enough. you have to dig deeper, try to learn bootstrap / Flexbox / other CSS tricks instead.

I just recalled that best place to grasp the basics is "learn enough to be dangerous" google it cause i can't post links yet.
