Where should a web programmer start?

Question

Computer networks

Hello. I will try to summarize the essence of my problem here.
Recently, my soul fell on programming, and I decided to choose the profession of a programmer. The guy himself is smart, no matter how selfish it sounds. I think this profession will not be alien to me. I have a lot of free time, because I study at a school where there is no load on students. This is what gives me a lot of time to further study this area. But the question is this.
I took a quick look at HTML & CSS, JS & jQuery and PHP just to see what these programming languages ​​are. But I realized that I started the approach a little wrong from what I needed. I would like to know more theoretical information, ie. how it all works.
All you need is advice from people who already have experience in this field. Where to start to work productively and succeed in this blind. Thank you!

Answer 1

Of course, you need to start with the question on the toaster!
Then use the search on the toaster and Google.

Answer 2

Friends, why did you attack the guy then? Yes, the toaster has ceased to be a geek only resource, but is it really worth unsubscribing like this because of this? @alugin: Initiative is what "be productive" is all about, and you fight it off.
On the subject:
I do not advise a beginner to learn PHP. Compared to other programming languages, it is complex and often non-intuitive. It is popular in the labor market, in particular, because of already existing projects that no one wants to rewrite. For a beginner, there are nicer options like python , ruby ​​, go . All of them are actively used in web development, they are all very well structured, writing code on them is nicer and faster than on php.
Both python and ruby ​​and go are used on the backend - that is, on the server. For the client (frontend), js and html are used, and so far there are no options. But, it is worth saying that all three PLs can be used without being tied to web development. This is especially true for go, but it is quite complex compared to the previous two.
If you want to become a programmer (and not a coder or script kiddy), then you should still focus on the backend. There are algorithms and data structures, and databases and a company) Good luck in your endeavors) You will succeed!
