Web Development: How to?

Sounds like you're on the right track! I've found the best way to learn something new is to just dive right in, Do you have a personal project to start off with?

Just a suggestion but you might want to look in to Node.js (a server-side JS environment) instead of PHP, at least at first. That way you can avoid learning PHP and focus on getting those essential JavaScript skills.

PHP might not be a good language to use, but it will learn you a about the "low" level stuff. Web frameworks tend to hide many details for you, which might be a disadvantage when you are learning.

Thanks a lot. I have heard about the server side JS. I will definitely think about NodeJS when I switch over to server side scripting. Yes, I do have many pet projects in my mind(though as of now I am avoiding them due to my lack of knowledge).
