I use PHP every day for work, you’d hardly recognize it. So, pick a language or stick with PHP. Either way, it’ll almost be like learning a new language.
These days, I’d recommend a framework if you’re actually trying to build something as all the little edge cases and security issues can be handled by the frameworks. It’s not like the old days where building your own framework was the norm.
Learning React or Vue is almost a must-know at this point in web development. So, I highly recommend setting up vscode and diving in.
I took a two year hiatus back around 2008-2010 and it took quite awhile to catch up. I highly recommend picking up a few CS books, especially if you can devote some serious time to it before getting back into coding. With a coding background, the books make more sense than they would when you’re just starting out.
- whattheheckm 5y agoThanks for your reply and your recommendations. This helps a lot. With regards to CS books: Any you can recommend in particular having the hobby web dev context in mind? Not a book, but a few weeks ago a friend recommended the CS50 course on edX. So this is definitely on my list.
