Learned HTML5 & CSS, now?

[F18]

Hello, so I've learnt html and css but struggle making projects, it seems I need to learn some Jquery, PhP & java. I'm just a bit lost. Where do I start making a project, I end up getting stuck... something is always stopping me.

Maybe check out this youtube channel, I found it helpful when I was starting to learn javascript/jquery. Do you have any specific questions?

Ok, firstly, Java is super not necessary. You're probably confusing it for JavaScript, which is super necessary

Jquery is a JavaScript library, it makes using JavaScript easier and allows you to create complex things easily. Unfortunately, if you just go learn jquery you won't learn core JavaScript. So I suggest you learn JavaScript first, before jquery.

PHP is also necessary, it will perform most of your vote website functionality. It's kinda pretty awesome, especially when you combine it with an SQL database.

JavaScript is a client side scripting language, the scripts run after the page is sent to the client. It's useful for things such as changing CSS on the fly, for example, a website dark theme. It's useful for things such as countdown timers that show the seconds in real time. It's useful for validating forms client side. Unfortunately, being client side means a user can see and manipulate the script, so it's not secure

PHP is a server side language. Scripts are run before the user even gets the page, and the user can't see the script so it's more secure. You can also make a completely different Web page, dynamically created from various parameters.

Sorry for the kinda not so detailed reply, but I'm on my phone
