Best Order for Learning Code?

Hey guys... first time poster here. I was recently made aware of Warrior Forum. I'm an aspiring digital marketer who's also interested in learning web dev and programming.

In what order should I learn the popular coding languages? I already have a solid understanding of HTML and CSS, and I've been instructed to go in this order...

1. JavaScript
2. PHP
3. Python
4. Django

Anything else I should add to my list? What're y'all's best methods for learning? What exactly does PHP do in 10 words or less?

Cheers!

Peter

  • Peter,

    If you plan on going even deeper into web development then also some basic knowledge in:
    - SQL query language - the language to communicate with database and access your data
    - JQuery - which will help your javascript a lot
    - Bootstrap - for building responsive, mobile friendly web sites
    - MySQL - This is not a language but a popular database that most people use. I used phpMyAdmin to manage tables with mysql. Most hosting companies now provide support for phpMyAdmin
  • Javascript is great with websites and a good choice since you know HTML and CSS. JQuery is kind of an advanced form of Javascript so learn that once ur familiar with Javascript.

    Afterwards, you'll probably be writing Code that interfaces with Databases and will need to know SQL.

    With all that knowledge, U can start looking at common languages used for web applications. Popular scripting languages are PHP, Ruby, Python.

    If you get that far, you'll find out some Bottlenecks in scripting language modules and write ur own modules in C or C++.

    • To answer your question, PHP provides dynamic functionality on the server side, contrasted to JavaScript working on the client side. Personally, I'd actually put PHP ahead of JavaScript. I even learned jQuery before I knew much/any JavaScript, if that makes any sense. (Plus, that class is fun!) Once you get the hang of PHP, learn MySQL and use the PDO interface to connect them.
  • Found this on google, It's a guide for a newbie developers.

    "To a lot of non-developers, learning to code seems like an impossibly daunting task. However, thanks to a number of great resources that have recently been put online for free— teaching yourself to code has never been easier. I started learning to code earlier this year and can say from experience that learning enough to build your own prototype is not as hard as it seems. In fact, if you want to have a functioning prototype within two months without taking a day off work, it’s completely doable."
