What to learn next? Finished How to Make a Website

Hello,

I am interested in becoming a web developer. Skills I would like to learn are HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, and MySQL.

I already completed How to Make a Website.

Now I am unsure if I should continue the Web Design track, select another track, or select individual Library lessons.

Any advice?

Thanks!

I have found it best to dip in and out of tracks - I will go as far as I can, and then move along and come back - you find anyway that many of the courses go across several tracks!

Like Caleb said it definitely depends on whether you want to do Front or Back.

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery are all covered in the Front-end Track. Maybe start on that and do courses on PHP and MySQL on the side?

I would like to learn both front and back end. I guess I will jump around and pick what I need to learn.

Thanks for your comments.

In that case I think it might be better to start with front-end, then move to back-end.

what I am doing as when I finished the how to make a web site, I felt lost like I did not no what to do next. I knew I did not no enough HTML CSS and JavaScritp alone so now I am going through the Library doing HTML then the CSS and then Full stack JS as well as testing my skills along the way.
