Question

web developing?
is it enough to learn html and php to be a web developer ?

Answer 1

Being a web developer is a challenging job as there would be thousand ideas swimming in from every where. If you believe you have decent skills in HTML and PHP, you might be good enough for small firms. Additionally learn about the new CMSs like WordPress and Joomla and you would have an edge above others. Yes, your journey won't stop there as you have to continuously learn and try new things. You will catch up skills on the way.

Answer 2

You'll need css in order to manipulate page layouts efficiently.



While I'm part of the anti-Javascript movement it's still useful to understand Javascript and it's frameworks. Also understand how to use some of the popular libraries such as JQuery. Additionally on the Javascript end you should learn to utilize the AJAX technique. You should be able to utilize AJAX with and without JQuery as though useful, JQuery is awfully sluggish and you may come across a time where JQuery's selectors become a bit of a bottleneck, especially on mobile.



This should give you what you need to work on for front-end design.



And as far as the backend PHP is useful for being hired but I suggest learning Ruby on Rails as well for an easier to use but easily scalable framework.



If you're REALLY willing to put in the effort I would also suggest looking into Golang. When it comes to scalable and secure web development Golang pretty much can't be beat. You can actually take someone spoofing a call to your API and give them the page... but instead replaced by a giant "Error: 418 I'm a teapot!" and nothing useful even if they were to inspect it. : )

Answer 3

You'll also need CSS for page layout and know about SQL and relational data modeling for storing data. And if you want your websites to do anything (as opposed to just static pages), you should know the basics of JavaScript and JQuery.



That will be enough to develop your own websites and is a great place to start. However, if you want someone to hire you, it might be hard to get a job with just that basic minimum. Here are some other things I'd be looking for in a full-stack PHP developer:



- at least one PHP MVC (model view controller) framework like Laravel, Symphony, etc.

- CMS (content management system) experience with Drupal, WordPress, Joomla, etc.

- experience in object-oriented programming

- MySQL or Postgres database administration

- linux command line

- basic Apache web server administration

- XML, JSON

- REST APIs

- IDE (integrated development environment) experience like Eclipse

- JavaScript MVC frameworks like AngularJS or Backbone

- Bootstrap

- Git



If you are doing this with the hopes of getting a job, start browsing job listings now. For the jobs that look interesting to you, see what technologies they tend to list. That will give you a good idea what to focus on. You might even find that the jobs you're most interested in don't want PHP developers but Python, Java, etc.
