Hey guys.

I want to work as a website developper and I'm wondering what should I learn next ?

I already know:

• HTML5
• CSS3
• PHP5
• JS
• JQUERY
• Photoshop

I'm thinking of learning a framework like "Bootstrap". Is it a good idea ? Should I focus on something else before ?

nvm read that wrong.

bootstrap wouldn't be a bad idea. also, id recommend playing around with the wordpress apis and get comfortable with those. wordpress is used a TON nowadays

I don't really get the difference between all those "frameworks".

Bootstrap is more like a way to get clean design and user interface, right ? But I don't really know what wordpress is used for :/

The difference between frameworks depends on what they intend to offer. For example, there are frameworks or apis for maps, charts, videos, etc. Frameworks just provide an abstract set of generic functionalities. That way you dont have to write the generic functions yourself, you can just make a call to the generic function already provided by the framework. I'm not that great at explaining shit so hopefully that made sense.

Bootstrap is a design / ui framework, yes. And wordpress is a really popular site builder built on top of php. Wordpress provides apis that let you develop plugins / themes.

Mmmhhh, ok. Thank you very much, I'm gonna learn both during the summer imo

twitter bootstrap is on my list as well. one of my coworkers keeps telling me how easy it is. he's also a big fan of python's django. it comes with a built in CRUD maker. when he pairs it with bootstrap he can quickly make pages to help maintain data.

depending on what you do for work (employed? contractor?), wordpress, cms, etc aren't a bad idea. i would probably look at SQL first though, unless you just forgot to list it.

yep, I just forgot :/

I'm actually just a student focusing on learning new (and useful) skills. But my teachers are really bad and can't really tell me what to learn on my own ...

I'de learn a CMS, WordPress, Drupal, Magento, MODx etc, extremely useful for end users to be able to easily update their shit.

lol... you might know a few things about each language...but you dont KNOW them inside and out.
