Hi,
My question is how hard or complex nd long does it take to learn how to make accounts for people? Nd how long will it take to learn the necessary code to make it? As well as making news feed, search and maybe a forum??

Making a simple webapp with accounts for people is relatively easy, but when it comes to making sure your accounts are secured properly and creating complex queries and database structures for individual user information, feeds, and whatnot, it becomes quite a bit more complicated. There is a reason why websites like Facebook have different teams that specialize in various areas.

2,435 PointsAhm I think I get it. You got PHP as dynamic page, adding and stuff nd MySQL for the database where user info is stored which require extra info and making it the way Randy was doing paypayl right?
To get it in once, how long do you think it will take to learn it practicing at least 1h ? at least a month to get it all you think?
I need to make a user account that can post news feed, and log in log of, search filter and deleting feeds etc.. That's my aim.
I know but I mean Facebook like website . A one man did it first and evolved it second with a team .
