Building an ecommerce app/website

Thanks man for your answer. What do you think about PHP and mySQL. I heard that PHP is getting less and less popular these days, based on the trend. What do you think about that? Is that true? Can PHP still be promising to learn in the next 5 or 10 years? Or do I need to step on another programming language that can still connect to the database to our website?

Well, if I coild foretell the future I would be living on a Caribbean Island with a young blonde or two. Seriously though, you need to make these decisions for yourself. Use whatever systems are available now, that you understand, and actually get on with the work.

I have been using the following site for years. Notice that their graph goes back to 2002. TIOBE Index - TIOBE[^] Years ago I track down how that site collects their data. Which seems much more reasonable than any other trend report which almost always seems to be based on something like 'we surveyed 50 companies and they said they will be using X in the next year.'

Hi guys, i want to know, can you guys tell me what I need to learn to create a simple web application for ecommerce website (not a complicated marketplace app) like for example: "shoes website" with the abilities for customers to sign up and put the product into shopping cart and then check out with simple payment system like paypal?
To create a simple web application for an e-commerce website like a "shoes website" with user sign-up, shopping cart functionality, and a simple payment system like PayPal, you would need to learn the following technologies and concepts: HTML/CSS: These are the foundational languages for building the structure and styling of web pages. HTML is used for creating the structure and content, while CSS is used for styling and layout. JavaScript: This is a programming language that allows you to add interactivity and dynamic behavior to your web pages. You'll need to learn JavaScript to handle user interactions, perform client-side validation, and manage the shopping cart functionality. Backend Development: You'll need to learn a server-side programming language to handle the business logic, data processing, and communication with external services. Some popular options are: Python: Using frameworks like Django or Flask. Ruby: Using frameworks like Ruby on Rails. PHP: Using frameworks like Laravel or Symfony. Node.js: Using frameworks like Express.js. Database: You'll need to understand how to work with databases to store and retrieve data. Some popular options are: MySQL PostgreSQL MongoDB (a NoSQL database) User Authentication: Learn how to implement user registration, login, and authentication to secure user accounts and manage sessions. You can use frameworks or libraries like Passport.js, Devise, or Django's built-in authentication system. Shopping Cart Functionality: You'll need to develop the logic for adding products to the cart, updating quantities, and removing items. This can be achieved through JavaScript and session management on the server side. Payment Integration: For a simple payment system like PayPal, you can use PayPal's APIs to handle payment processing. You'll need to learn how to integrate the PayPal API into your application and handle the payment flow. Web Server and Hosting: You'll need to understand how to deploy your web application on a web server and make it accessible on the internet. You can choose hosting providers like Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean. Security: Learn about web application security best practices to protect user data and prevent common vulnerabilities, such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection attacks. Responsive Design: Ensure your website is accessible and looks good on different devices and screen sizes. Learn about responsive design techniques using CSS media queries. These are the core technologies and concepts you'

To create a simple e-commerce site (e.g., shoes) with user sign-up, cart, and PayPal, learn HTML/CSS for structure, JavaScript for interactivity, a backend language (Python/Django, Ruby/Rails, or Node.js), databases, user auth, cart, payment integration, web hosting, security, and responsive design. Many online tutorials can guide you.

To create a simple ecommerce website like a "shoes website," you'll need to learn HTML, CSS for front-end design, JavaScript for interactivity, and a backend language like Python, Ruby, or Node.js along with a framework like Flask, Ruby on Rails, or Express.js for handling server-side logic. You'll also need to understand databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) for storing user and product information, and integrating a payment system like PayPal using their API.
