The thing that took me VERY long to do is just pick a damn framework... In the end it doesn't really matter if it's Laravel, Rails, or a Flavor of Nodejs -- what does matter is you pick one, and get to building. I like Laravel a lot because it's built on php and makes php way sexier. But I also play around w/ other frameworks in my spare time.... I put too much emphasis on this though.. If you're interested, I could help you build your skills. Can't pay you anything, BUT we could collaborate on a startup/website idea, I've got quite a few ideas. I'll let you take lead on the app, and I'll point you in the direction you need to go, where to get help, who to ask, what's next, etc... you'll write most of the code, I'll critique, and give insight, give tips. Then we can deploy it, and I'll let you do that as well. The key to learning super fast is for you to be FORCED by circumstance to do it, without hand holding - though I'll be hear to help, --but when nobody is doing it for you, you just pick it up as needed. Google/StackExchange and ESPECIALLY IRC Chat are your best friends on this journey.
