4,334 Pointshi, I want to learn to build pages to sell things, which skills do you suggest me to start learning?
I want to learn how to build pages, so I started with the frontend development course. But right now I have to create a page to sell things, and I'm not sure which path or skills should I learn.

You have a couple options here. If you are just wanting to get an e-commerce site online and start selling as quick as possible I would go with Wordpress. You can easily get hosting and buy a theme on themeforest.com and get that running at lightning speed.
If you want to learn how to build your own e-commerce site I would start with the front end track. Learn HTML & CSS first then move on to JavaScript. That takes care of the front end part but in order to track all the data and get information from the server you will need to learn PHP, Ruby, or Python. PHP would probably be the quickest way to get going on the server but I personally prefer Ruby. You also need to know about databases such as SQL, MySQL, or MongoDB. I would go with MySQL.
Good Luck, Mike
