How to start learning website building?

Question

Programming

Hello!
A friend bought a site for himself, only he is poorly versed in computers. He asked me to take care of his administration and now I need to start learning website building and programming.
The site itself was conceived as an online store. Necessary plugins purchased and installed. It remains only to properly design the site, change the design and fill it with goods.
In general, it turns out that there is something to practice on, but I don’t know where to get knowledge of JavaScript, PHP and, in general, in the areas necessary for website building.
Hence the question - what kind of high-quality literature can you read or watch video tutorials that will teach you how to program (so far in JavaScript) and write websites? Maybe someone from your library and video library can share what you need?

Answer 1

Dag-M : If you're good with computers, then I'm very surprised if you don't believe in the power of Google. The main thing is to correctly write what you are looking for.
And for this you must have the following knowledge:
1) the site engine
2) what database is used
3) what web server is used if you are going to administer it (hardly)
Based on this, look at what the engine is written on - read articles on basic skills of these languages ​​and specifically questions about the engine. There are a lot of ready-made answers on the Internet, since it is unlikely that you have something self-written.
99% that you need basic knowledge of html/css/sql/php/javascript.

Answer 2

JavaScript is not very suitable for the role of the first language - it has quite a lot of features, getting used to which it will be difficult to switch to another language.
1. https://learn.javascript.ru/ Ilya Kantor.
2. "JavaScript, Definitive Guide." Flanagan.
And as a bonus, the best, in my opinion, JS reference https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript
Video tutorials are overrated, IMHO. But if you really want to, then the very basics are well disclosed by Sorax . There are also enough more serious videos, the same Ilya Kantor often uploads videos with lectures or reports from conferences.

Answer 3

Pavel Denisov is right. You are a complete zero in this, arguing that you understand computers, but it’s not clear how it is connected with each other. I don’t rummage around in computers at all, I can only at the level: change spare parts, reconnect everything and solve the problem using the search. However, this does not prevent me from programming calmly (although I think that knowledge of architecture, etc. is useful).
You immediately have the task of rewriting the IM (design, features, etc.). A beginner cannot do this. Let's start with the fact that you will not make a normal design, then you will not be able to put it on the engine. After that, you will not be able to add the necessary features.
And taking on such a thing just because a friend asked is a dubious undertaking. If you are really interested in starting it, then the stack is not very large (in a quantitative sense), but very voluminous: HTML, CSS, Javascript - this is only for the outer shell, that is, what the user will see directly. Next comes PHP, working on the database, building the architecture, and so on. This is the bare minimum you need to be aware of. Add here 4-5 more frameworks, which will be heard at every step, but what it is - you will not understand.
Therefore, it is easier to entrust the support of the site to professionals, yes, you will have to pay, but you are not going to work for him for bread and water.

Answer 4

I advise you to listen to some kind of online course on layout, you can take CS50 from lecture 7, where layout begins. If you read stupid literature, then it will take you a very long time to figure it out
