Where to go from here to become comfortable with a full stack?

I would definitely go with php and mysql, the courses on Treehouse are excellent for this and serve as a great introduction to databases!

Thanks Paul! Any feedback on why beyond Treehouse courses? Because they are more widely used at this point?

Sorry yes, I just found them the easiest to learn, everything else was scary and could only be understood by spending a long time reading through the docs for any other languages / frameworks. I first did the course building a simple PHP application and it spoon fed me through understanding the core concepts, like linking your site to a database and pulling the information back out from the database. From the information on this course I managed to make www.mysignoff.co.uk which takes in information from forms, adds it to a database and produces a pdf if required (via a module) and then also presents the database info in a table form.

This is by no means the easiest way to do that though but it was a good learning curve, learning Laravel and using that framework would be much better suited and much faster to set up, but I'm still trying to get my head around that!

A lot of employers are looking for Laravel experience now too, I got offered a job last year based on my learning through Treehouse, given that I only started learning to code a couple of years ago I was over the moon!

Thanks Paul! Congrats on that job offer! It must be very satisfying to here from people about job offers as a result of all your efforts. Keep going man!

Thanks for your feedback!
