How to learn to develop complex web projects?

Question

LAMP

The Internet is full of materials on how to use the linux-apache-mysql-php (as well as noSQL and js-based solutions like: node.js , backbone.js , etc.) stack and frameworks for them to create typical blogs, sites - business cards, online stores.
But what is the development cycle for non-trivial applications , be it: a payment aggregator, real estate agency sites (like this one for example: homearound.ru), video chats, a travel planning system (axiomadev.ru/portfolio/magelani-com), coupon sites.
Is it possible to get the necessary knowledge on the Internet, tailored to the specifics of creating exclusive projects , and if "yes", then where?
PS Answers in the spirit: "Learn PHP and stuff." Not accepted, I already have enough knowledge...

Answer 1

In practice in large companies among qualified specialists.

Answer 2

On practice.
If you do not have specific knowledge, then you will still be hired, where you will receive this knowledge.
Moreover, often this knowledge is not needed at all: everything that requires it is usually done by analysts, not programmers.

Answer 3

There is no place on a really big project without MVC now, if you like backbone, that is, a very modern book on it, the creation of a modern application is considered step by step, this book helped me a lot to understand how large applications are developed.

Answer 4

Large projects usually start with adequate architecture design (as much as possible at the initial stage), and then evolve. You won't learn it except through practice.

Answer 5

Big projects start with an investment of time and money and a calculation of how much it will pay off. Everything else is applied and done easily.

Answer 6

The development cycle of any projects is approximately the same, whether in construction or on the web,
